So much for the fancy kit  Whilst cleaning up the mortices on my windows I reached for my sharpest 8mm to work wonders on the coarse Douglas Fir grain only to find a 3mm curve in the blade   I have heard of this before but I have had this chisel and its 4 brothers for a good year or so and the others are OK These came from Peter the good tool guy. Now we know why they were remaindered. Brian |

I will now ;D If it keeps going it could be useful as a cranked chisel for lock mortices. I wonder how I can get it to bend the other way further up  Brian |

Hmmm if you look at that top picture long enough you can make the ruler appear bent and the chisel straight  Yes yes I know I need to get out more! ;D |

Hi David, I cannot remember the name of the maker and did not keep the invoice however they were bought from "Peter the good tool man" and I attach pics of the logo and label - sorry my Japanese isn't up to the translation.    Re your last PM my father tried to contact Bob Wearing a couple of weeks ago but found only and answerphone (which has yet to respond). I know they were thinking of moving into smaller accomodation however that may not now be an option. Very sad all round especially as he will have left his workshop behind. Brian |
