This episode I fit the last two parts of the frame and then onto how I hold the torch and fit the main pin.
Working out just where the pin that the Torch sits on, works best. The right position to look good and work well.
I hope you enjoy watching.

Possibly the Best Chisels made in the UK? And I'll tell you why I believe they really are the best.
Video up now.

I hope you get to watch this video and enjoy the history, the reason they were made with the influx of Japanese tools. And how well they perform.
I would love to know what you think. So please comment. I value your support and help over the last couple of years.
Here's to making more of these little gems, these nuggets of information.
Thanks for everything
Jamie

This Oak Wardrobe base frame was brought to me with a few issues. Wear from the wobbly Oak leg had dug into the Pine frame.
I do like to use the right glue for the job. In this case I stand by what I did. They had used hide glue to bond the joints of the frame.
But the Pine frame really wasn't strong enough to take the weight.
I hope you enjoy the video above.
Please comment on YouTube and copy & paste comment on here too. That way both Blogger and YouTube algorithms will be happy.

In 1986 (36 years ago) Record were trying to raise their profile and improve the quality of their tools.
The Gold Chip bevel edged chisels with Rosewood handles, were 3 times the price of their plastic handled cousins and twice the price of the Ash handled chisels.
Watch the video and see just how long it took me to get this one chisel back into great condition https://youtu.be/-D0QX73Pf5g
And I can honestly say they nailed it.
I've got the 6 set of these (I bought new in '87) and they hold their edge for ages. Great chisels if you can get them.
However, in the original box too... that's a huge bonus. Value now.. 🤔
Well.
After using new Narex, Ashley Iles, Lie Nielsen.. I'd price this set of 5 (in good condition) at £200.
Theres a lot to do to get them into perfect condition. And I've made a start.
New video will show just how to get the back flat again, and the edge square.
In perfect, mirror backed, 25° re-established. 30° honed.
Ferrule polished up and correct. Then with the Rosewood bought back to that satin smooth finish.
Perfect.. And the Price after restoration and tuning..
£450-500.
Note; Record also produced a Boxwood handled Gold Chip range too. Again in boxes. However, that rivalled the Sorby Boxwood handled chisels. The Rosewood was seen as the higher end, and at the time, the best you could buy.
