They were all stolen last night along with my Land Rover Ah well. Get up and start again, tomorrow’s another day. Last week I was in The Craven Herald in my bodgery see here. This week I’ll be in as the man who lost nearly all the tools of his trade in one go – blimey they leave you the tools of your trade when you’re bankrupt, my dad used to tell me. |

It is very hard when this happens, and I feel for you. When I lived in my tipi I had all my tools stolen by gypsies, chainsaw, chisels axes etc, as well as tools that my late grandfather gave me as a kid. I knew who did it, the police knew them and did nothing, and told me to do nothing, if I valued my body. No insurance. The one thing I learnt is that tools are soon replaced. I was in shock and very angry for a few days. Good luck with tool replacement.

Thanks for your comments Sean. I am fortunate in having some insurance which will cover the tools, but as you know some of them are irreplaceable, like the 2 1/2lb kent pattern axe that got me going, and had a nice worn handle I made for it, bit like an old friend really. However, they are all just deadstock, there are more important things in life eh? “What does not kill us makes us stronger” as they say in Scotland I believe. Maurice Pyle has done good in already sending me my order for lathe chisels, same day!
What a bloody awful thing to have happened to you. It’s hard enough with the government, the banks, and the C&E taking everything they can from you without some witless, work-shy *&*&*(&&&er taking what you need to pay the rest.
Email me your address and I’ll post you a decent draw knife (you may need to fettle it!)and anything else I can think of which may help to get you back on track.
Chin up…
Andy
