    I have a very long-bladed 1/4" Swan chisel that I would not part with. Definitely the best vintage chisel I have ever found.

    I did not attend this year, as I live much further away now, but went to all of the prior ones. For me the Handworks show was 10% tools and other stuff; and 90% the people there. This would include...
