Frosts carving tools.
 

Hi All,

Would anyone happen to know a walk-in shop chain (rather than
t'internet order etc), ideally in / around Nth London / Herts / Essex
that sells Frosts hand carving tools please?

Ideally they will also be open on a Saturday. ;-)

Cheers, T i m

Ah thanks. A quick search of their site doesn't reveal what we are
looking for (daughter fancies doing some spoon carving) but I'll give
em a call tomorrow if they are open.

I had already scanned the Tillgear catalogue and I don't think they do
exactly what we looking for (even if not Frosts etc). I don't think
they open on Sat either.

Thanks though, ;-)

nooks and crannies

Bad form n that but I gave em a ring this morning at they said they
did have a set of 'Faithfull' wood carving tools but although I
emphasised the description of the particular tool I was after "you use
it sideways against your thumb like some veg peelers ... the sharp bit
is on the side, not on the end like a std chisel ..." I wasn't
convinced I was getting through. A Google for said tool set shows yer
typical chisels and gouges (and even one called a spoon gouge) but not
what I was looking for.


They sounded like:

When I believe I wanted:

(bottom 5 items).

The handy thing for daughter is she shouldn't have any issues getting
material to practice on as she currently spends much of her day
feeding such through a chipper. ;-)
