New Turning Tools

[Buzzzz4]

New to me anyway. A friend's dad passed them on to me as a gift. He is no longer able to turn. Anyone know anything about these?

 

[seamus7227]

yeah that a decent little set, at least to be given to you for free anyway!

CSUSA probably still sell a very similar set...Woodcraft too I think.

found them on Amazon:

Shedfield, England tools have been around for well over 100years.
Goggle it and see the history on them.
Nice find

Crown makes some great HSS tools, and that looks like a dandy set, I like the detail gouge and the Skew looks as if it's never been used, in fact it doesn't look as any of them have seen much if any use. What a great gift !!!

When A friend of mine passed away unexpectedly a few years ago I helped out his widow by buy most of his turning tools & his wood supply. In with the tools was this same set. I do not use them often but they are very well made, hold an edge well & are nice for detail work.

Pretty sure you used my one Crown tool a few weeks ago. So, you have a little experience with them.:wink:

Nice gift though. Congrats.
