    Looks good, I usually use linseed oil followed by boiled linseed oil.
    Now you just need to put it through its paces!

    I'm totally rapt with it mate, I've been in an office the last 16 years (QC Manager) I was a tool maker (time served pom) for 35 years, so this was an enjoyable Labour of love for me

    It turned out better than I hoped, great advice from Shelley, and watched a shit load of You Tube to give me confidence......that's a bushcraft spoon & knife during 'lockdown'......chuffed

    a good read for a rainy day..

    Cast steel sheep shearing clippers made by Ward & Payne of Sheffield, England.


    Found the clippers doing some 'op shopping' and inspired by the guy who showed some pictures on here not long ago, this came out of it.

    Interesting read (below) about the makers of those shears which were most likely made between 1843 and 1850
    History of Ward & Payne, Ltd.

    Ward and Payne, Ltd., Limbrick Works, Hillsborough, Sheffield made many types of forged hand tools during its long existence. These included brick trowels and various chisels for masonry. Its 1953 Price List included "shears, secateurs, trowels, forks, cultivators, dibblers, hooks, hoes, rakes, spades, shovels, chisels, pliers, pincers, adzes, hatchets, choppers, augers, bits, drills, braces, try squares, levels, gauges, turnscrews, spokeshaves, saws, bradawls, punches, blades, planes, caulking irons, scrapers, plumb bobs, masons tools, hammers, pincers, needles, spanners, grips, calipers, vices, cramps, stops, compasses, dividers, ladles, mallets, wedges, knives, groovers, figure and letter marks, oil cans, glue pots." Earlier, they also made wood chisels, files, razors, axes, and washer cutters. Their tools were labeled Ward & Payne or Ward, both with a trademark of 2 crossed hammers over an anvil.
    David Ward (about 1767-1822) founded the edge tool forging business in 1803. When his son Edward Ward (1813-1842) joined, the company name changed to David Ward & Co. Edward Ward's brother-in-law Henry Payne, an established edge tool maker, joined Ward and registered the Ward & Payne trademark in 1843. After Edward Ward's premature death in 1842, his share was put in a trust until his son David Ward (1834-1889) came of age. Payne died in 1850, and his widow briefly retained an interest in the firm, but this apparently passed to the Ward trustees. Under the second David Ward, Master Cutler and Mayor of Sheffield, the company achieved its greatest success.

    Cheers

    The Juma is good to work, shapes and sands easily, warm to the touch . Takes a very good polish and has great depth in the pattern.

    Big shout out @viper
    I was the recipient of the above set and I'm sorry but the photo just doesnt do them justice. They look and feel amazing in person.
    The whole experience was enjoyable, with getting regular emails and photos of progress through the different stages and the fact that nothing was a drama.....no matter how much I changed my mind
    Couldnt be happier thanks mate
    Cheers
