Peter our carpenters were allowed an hour every morning once just to sharpen there tools
Yep I remember that as a young lad on site, I had to sharpen dads Irish Diston saw in a horse vice that was his bestest ever saw that cost arm and leg and earned all our wages.
I still remember some of the old toolmakers names WHS, Tyzack, A.House. London's finest tools for the Journeyman, usually an offshoot from the rail yard foundry.
Rambling now shut it init?
