Nothing like a bit of retail therapy

Postby RogerS » 15 Jul 2018, 10:05

Having to make an emergency dash down to Penrith to get some more Little and Greene paint made up for the decorating lass, I needed a bit of TLC and ended up buying these three rather handy chisels

And in comparison to a normal chisel

I'm hoping that they're going to be a little bit more comfortable in my gradually increasingly arthritic hands.

Little and Green is stocked by G & S Specialist Timber..a turning and carving emporium. Little and Greene paint is just superb. Nothing like Farrow and Ball which is like making love in a canoe. Talking to my decorating lass, she tells me that most decorators now will price a job to include putting on three coats of F&B if the customer is insistent that their cr*p paint is used.

I'll echo your comments about little greene paint. I think it's the nicest paint I've ever used ! Those chisel handles do look comfortable

Nice looking Butt Chisels, I’ve a set from Ashley Iles which are very useful for awkward jobs.

I was looking at some Narex chisels at Peter Sefton’s yesterday, the handles are certainly chunky, I ended up investing :eusa-whistle: in some Woodpecker & Incra gear :eusa-shifty:

I bought a set of Narex last year - superb to hold and work. Great investment, and mine are going to last much longer now cos I ain't going to be using them much! :P

Nope, they're not for sale!
