I and my friend (master blacksmith) made chisels and a slick for my upcoming Timber Framing project. He made the steel parts. I made handles and leather tip guards. In my opinion chisels and the slick came out very high quality. So the idea was born - to make my own Timber Framing hand tool workshop were we could manufacture high quality fully hand made tools.

Maybe there are anyone who can give me some advice or some dealer/manager or craftsmen who are interested to take apart in my new idea or someone who wants to order some kind of hand forged tools.

Chisels are made from high quality carbon steel.

The steel is fully hand forged, we don't use a pneumatic hammer. The facture of the tools looks antique.

Handles are made from ash tree and then linseed oiled.

They come with handmade leather tip guards.

Chisel width: 2" and 1 and 1/2"

Slick width: 3"

Thank you.

Nice work, old froes and mortising axes sell very well down here.

Hello. Yes we can make froe and broadaxe. What kind of a broadaxe you would be interested? More like German style, American or Swedish? I will post later some pics of the axes we have forged. I will try to find some pictures of a German style finishing broadaxe that we have made, too.

If you know precisely what you want - just give me know and we will make the tools and ship them to you.

Heido!

The price is that what I am thinking about right know. I have to compare Barr tool prices and the very expensive ones from Cariboo Blades - http://www.caribooblades.com/framingchisels.html. If you want some of these - you can say your price at first.

Thanks for advice. There is a Blacksmith mark on all the tools that he forges. It is a good tradition that goes trough the centuries.
