    Smile More Shop Time Today = More Chisel Handles

    These are not quite finished, but I'm done for the day so I thought I'd share them 'in progress."

    From the top down they are:

    Stanley 750

    Stanley 720

    3 James Swan

    T.H. Witherby Warranted firmer

    condition where the size of his public is almost in
    inverse proportion to the quality of his work."
    (James Krenov, A Cabinetmaker's Notebook, 1976.)

    I guess my public must be pretty huge then.

    The long Swan parer is the only one I'm seriously considering keeping.

    Mastery!

    Tom, it looks to me like you've mastered the craft of rehandling chisels. Those are very nice indeed!
