Great chisels Toby,

These have just been despatched to the soggy North

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331259194532? ... 1497.l2649

Looks like a big washita to me

Nice spot P, long time where you been?
I'm more of a water stone man myself, but I have a good few stones, nothing like Jimi's but not far off.
I'm trying to be a good boy and not buy off the bay anymore but it's hard not to.

I'm soon to purchase some good from CHT. Gulp don't tell the misses as she nearly hit the roof when I told her how much my basket added up to ;£

[Mr_P]

I've been here and there but mainly here

I'm a big fan of oil stones and can't wait to find out if this is bigger and thicker than my current stone.

Toby I'm shocked no more ebay and buying new, whatever next a one page sharpening thread ?

The world's gone mad and I don't like it.

I did see a 10" x3" wakisha stone on the bay a while back. Every now and then I spot some nice ones. I'll keep you informed if I spot anymore

Maby a bit of eBay but I'm in need of some precision tooling and CHT is the right place plus I get a student discount

Take care mate

Agreed - the colour could (just) have been india fine, but they weren't (AFAIK) made in 10" sizes, so Washita it is.

Very handy stone, IMHO, to follow an India "fine", but before a fine finishing natural.

[jimi43]

That was a "walking back to the carpark and I've only got 20p left mate" moment!

:mrgreen:

Jimi

 

[tobytools]

That will take some beating.
20p he would have got more if he scraped it.

3" wide now that's my idea of luxury, all mine are 2"

This week I have been mainly buying planes with incorrect lever caps.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301241964400? ... 1497.l2649

I.Sorby no.6 will look well next to my no.5

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251593948631? ... 1497.l2649

Never tried a woden but if its as good as my vice I'll have a dilemma on my hands and a lovely span bonus lol.

 

[tobytools]

3" wide wakisha wowza. Now that's got to be worth it's weight in gold.

I'm so jealous about the I sorby. What's it gona cost me to take one off your hands.
I seems you have adopted the "eye" for these things mate.
Keep it up.
Love a gloat

I'm trying to be a good boy but I'm not so here are my gloats....

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171388464168

Again it's a big boy.

£30 for a woodie, it must be good. Like mine a bit more magnetic and preferably less than 6" long.

Blimey give me chance to have a play first Toby but not really my size so up for grabs you really want it.

In danger of becoming a bit of a "C" where Mr P is concerned.

Mr P, when you've had a play let me know of a price

Can you pm me some pics?

We could do some swaps or something...

I have loads of sorby gems mr p recently got this iron. It can with a plane that I thought was rosewood. Turned out to be dirty oak. Grrrr cost 4.99 all in so not a big loss. The iron is well worth it.

I live the comment you once made P "id like to have been a fly on the wall when they chose that logo"

Tho I know why

Not a problem Jimi we're doing a fair trade. And I know your post pics of it cleaned and sharpened up, I have to ask what's your intentions for it....

Back to work
