New Tool additions.
I used to source and sell a lot of second hand tools but because it became ever more difficult to find and what I was being offered did not match up to the standard required I sold out at London Boat Show in 2006.At last I have found some quality tools and start listing them as follows.
| Beech handled screwdriver set |
 |
Now this is more like it. Beach Handles that sit proper in your hand. Made in EN 8 tool steel for strength this set covers 3in,4in 5in 6in 8in & 10inch. Made by Crown Tools of Sheffield I prefer to use these rather than the electric screwdriver. The tool steel fits properly into the screw head and is a joy to work with.
|
Set of 6 is £59.95 plus vat |

|
| Draw Knife |
 |
Here again Crown Tools have excelled. A decent weight, nice handles and most of all really good steel. We really can make good steel again and this tool is no exception Knife is 11 inches 280mm straight.
I would suggest you call me for details of other drawknives I have, including secondhand ones. We also have in stock 1 American folding drawknife made by AJ Wilkinson & Co, Boston, Mass, where the handles fold inwards and protect the blade when not being used.

Price is £38.00 plus vat

| Pin Maul |

We have found a very old shipwrights Pin Maul in the bilges of a Baltic Trader. What you see is an exact copy made in phosphor bronze.

The weight is approx 7lb.

Slick |
 |
This is a wonderful tool that is coming back into "fashion" Used in making masts and spars, cutting planking at hood end etc. These are Brand new. Just like a very large chisel with a longer handle. When you are using a draw knife but find the handles are in the way use a Slick Blade width is 3 3/8 INCH WIDE and it weights 4 3/4 lbs. The blade is carbon steel cast with the lost wax-wax process and bottom and side are ground to an accurate finish as is the 27 degree bevel. There are few items today that will be treasured antiques of tomorrow The SLICK is one of them
