Well I finally got around to checking out a few of my late fathers old toolboxes.....mostly junk, (he was never much of a handyman) but my trained eye spotted a couple of old abused chisels. I'm a bit OCD when it comes to my garage, tools and equipment, and it's fair to say that my workshop is pretty well kitted out....
saw some potential in the barely discernable "cast steel imprints on these 2 /
first step was to do a basic clean on the wire brush machine
some lathe work to clean up some old boxwood handles
and after some precision sharpening on the Sorby pro-edge and some machine polishing with compound and sisal mop, the finished items
a couple of Marples chisels from the 1940-50 period, crucible steel that both takes and holds an edge, ready to see me out, and part of a growing collection of 150 plus edged tools in the shop.
