Lie-Nielsen bevel edge chisels for sale

andyavast

Anybody interested in buying a set of 5 Lie-nielsen bevel edge chisels?
I bought them out of interest (times were better then!) 18 months ago and have never used them.

I like my oire-nomi very much and would rather the LNs went to a good home rather than sitting in my chest unused.

I have polished the backs but the bevel has never been honed.

So, anybody interested?

cheers,
Andy

Well Woodsworth they do say the early bird catches the worm. Would be nice if the OP marked them as sold though to save any wondering

i sent a PM but am waiting to know, as i'm sure others have.

I'm truly useless!

I am asking £35 a chisel, although i would really rather sell the lot for £170. I reckon that is a fair price. CHT and APTC both sell them for £227 for the set however I did not get a tool roll when I bought mine so one WILL NOT be supplied. Hope that is okay.

I'll just stick some pics up.

pictures of the chisels!

sorry about the quality, they were taken on my iphone as i cant find my girlfriends digital camera Rolling Eyes

they are really quite hard to let go of (very tactile) but it would be a waste for them to sit unused.

cheers,
Andy.

Yes wizer, but it is of my own construction and design. I obviously drew strong inspiration from the brilliant Benchcrafted.

I modified the design by recessing two rare earth magnets into the rear so it would stick to me splashbacks magnetically rather than fixing it back with screws. This particular one is for my Global knives, though I have one made from a very old piece of teak for marking tools. Next...inlays?

I absolutely love making them!!! very satisfying indeed.

quite strange to plane though. The magnets attract the plane sole quite strongly, its a very odd feeling indeed!!!

pardon my elongated answer, i dont get to share the results of my potterings very often but this turned out quite pleasingly.

CHISELS FOR SALE!!

Very Happy

cheers,
Andy.

I've often thought about making some. Did you just embed RE magnets all along? What size magnets did you use?

Mornin'

I basically cut and planed my stock to size, ripped off a 5mm slice from the front, dressed both cut faces, drilled 20mm holes in the thick side and pushed 5x20mm rare earth magnets into the holes before gluing the face back on and finish planing/chamfering the arrises.

the magnets were obtained from www.e-magnetsuk.com and cost £8 for ten i think. Their service is flawless and fast, highly recommended.

two magnets are strong enough to hold a block plane in my experience!

do it and have fun dude!!

cheers,
andy

I wish i could buy the lot of them. Next month i would be able to, no questions asked. I just bought aFoley Belsaw Sharpening centre Model 1055 and my dust collector yesterday.

If you can wait till next month i'll buy them. I would of PM'ed you but that doesn't seem to work.
