Proto_2_w_Ruler.jpgPrototype 2 with Ruler88 viewsThis picture gives an idea of size and proportion. At a little under 5 1/2" it seems an appropriate size for the smallest chisels in the set.Chuck Myers

Proto_2_w_4_mm_Chisel.jpgPrototype 2111 viewsThis is the second London Pattern handle I've made, attached here to a 4 mm chisel. The cross section is scaled down from the first handle I made--it's 1" rather than the 1 1/8" used previously. The wood is white oak, chosen because I happened to have a piece of 5/4 scrap available. A wood with finer grain and lighter color would work better, I think, so hard maple probably will be the choice when I go into production mode.Chuck Myers

Proto_2_Closeup.jpgPrototype 2 Closeup85 viewsThis picture makes some of the detail a little more obvious. I patterned the decorative elements after those on a really beautiful handle belonging to Peter Robinson. Peter was kind enough to send me some pictures to help me figure out the proportions.Chuck Myers

London_Pattern_Prototype.jpgLondon Pattern Prototype135 viewsThis is a london pattern chisel handle I made. It's a prototype to test dimensions I'd tried to figure out using others' how-to descriptions, pictures, etc. It's made from walnut and currently attached to a Two Cherries 10 mm.Chuck Myers
