Hi All, I picked up another chisel this morning, this time the logo is pretty good but I can't make out the first letter of the surname of the manufacturer. It looks like Charles Taylor but the logo for them is a woodscrew, this is different. I've checked against a list of Sheffield...

Hello again, I would like help identifying these two chisels if possible. The first only says Sheffield made but someone may have a similar chisel. The second has warranted cast steel and a logo I've seen before but can't recall who's it is. As for the third it's hard to make out.

Hi Everyone, I know this tool isn't generally used in woodworking but one of you may be able to shine a light on the manufacturer. I bought a number of tools on the weekend including the tool in question. It is a pair of small snips with the Stainsons brand. I've googled the brand but nothing...

Hi Guys, I have just picked up a Stanley No 4 1/2 which i have established is a Type 14. The question is "What is the best method for loosening the frog screws without snapping them?". At the moment i have them covered in 3 in 1, I don't know if the oil will penetrate through to the threads. Any...

Yesterday I bought some new tools from a few different companies. The service was so good and the products were delivered within 24 hours even though I only paid for standard delivery. The companies in question were Workshop Heaven and Thomas Flinn. Does anybody else have praise for fantastic...

After learning so much from my Vintage chisel thread, I decided to do the same with planes. The difference is it will include new as well as vintage planes. I'm looking for information on types, techniques or anything interesting plane related. You can even show off a particular plane or an...

This post is partly a bit of fun and partly good info for beginners. I would like to know what vintage Chisel brands everyone would rank as the best. You can say the best chisel you have used or you can rank them, the choice is yours. I don`t have enough experience with old chisels yet to make...
