Hi Chistopher.
I hope you will recall an email conversation we had a while ago re my father
in law's carving tools. You suggested I join temporarily; I have taken your
advice and joined and hope you will post this message to members for which I
should be most grateful.
I have pics of the tools on dropbox for any interested members to view
should they ask. I list below the chisels and hope I have given sufficient
information and that it arrives without glitch.
Many thanks and best wishes from the UK.
Geoff

This must be the largest collection of Addis chisels to be offered in my
lifetime.
46 Addis carving chisels. 44 other makes.
These tools were the property of my father in law Wallace Jordan, furniture
restorer, carver and turner, deceased 94 years old. They are in the UK.
I am selling on behalf of the executors of the property. They are to be
sold as a lot. Open to sensible offers/bids.
In respect of condition, you will need to inform me as to what you need to
know since I am not a carver, nor turner.
If interested please email me to obtain a link to photos and this list in
dropbox. gandfkenward@g... <mailto:gandfkenward@g...>
Thanks for your interest. Geoff Kenward.
