"New" Chisel Set on the Way
This set of chisels (most of them) were my grandfather's and handed down to me by my father. The box used to have metal clips to hold the chisels in, and it hurt my ears and and my heart every time I put one in or took it out of the box.
When they came to me, the chisels weren't in good shape and the box was held together with duct tape. They were somewhat rusted, poorly sharpened (if at all), and I have a strong feeling I might have opened a paint can with one of them when I was a teenager. A couple of the handles were unsalvagable. I wanted to have these available for use sooner rather than later and didn't have the time or equipment (lathe) to restore them. Those of you that know Scott out in Happy Camp: the case refit and the chisel refurishment was his work. He also had a chisel that completed the set and added in a scratch awl to fill the box.
Can't wait to get my hands on them. Thanks, Scott!
