- TFWW is proud to present our tour of Ray Iles workshop in Horncastle, UK. Automated production of froe, rounder, and mortise chisel parts - Drawknife blade stamping - Ray Iles centering, polishing and undercutting drawbore pin handles with a single tool - Handling drawbore pins - grinding froe blades
I love my bench chisels from Iles. The steel is perfect. Hard enough to be sharp, but not so hard that it isn't durable. I can keep lower bevel angles. It strops beautifully and the little hollow works perfectly for me.
Ray's a proper engineer, born and bred in Sheffield, where "Health & Safety" at that time consisted of the advice "Don't do owt bloody stupid!" I haven't seen him for a while, but I think he's still intact!
Yes I spoke to him last week when ordering from his store "oldtoolstore" - sells vintage and new tools there that he still makes like his rounders.
it's refreshing to see people doing skilled work rather than boasting about the next capital expenditure on CNCs
amazing to watch!!!! You were recommended to me from @schpoingle carver .....i'm looking for a small whittling knife- do you sell any?
Thanks, Pixie! We carry lots of options for whittling. Feel free to give us a call or check them out
on our website.
Another collection of antiquated machinery. No wonder the British are so slow. Made a similar comment on Clico Clifton video.
And what do you think is superior to this - lie nielsen and lee valley relying on CNC for nearly everything and being forced to charge twice as much because of it? Their products are certainly no better. They make good stuff, but are limited in what they can make and forced to operate on thin margins due to equipment cost.
@@daw162 This. LN mortise chisels are now 136 GBP in the UK, Ray's which probably have just as much R&D are probably 1/3 of that when you phone up and order direct. The Ashley Iles chisels are made by a different factory and company, and likewise are still really affordable compared to LN/Veritas.
