Do you sell any Woody?

I can make them up without the handles for about £14 for the small ones with a round tip or £12 with the square tip without the handle and plus P/P but it will take a few weeks to get the round tips handles about another £3.50 or cheaper if you supply your own wood I will only charge what it cost me to make them obviously I have to pay postage to get the tips delivered from the USA and metal from other suppliers and the more that are wanted the less the postage will be for me to get the materials

But I must stress that they will all be made by hand so there will be some variation from one tool to another and they will not have a machined finish

:thinks: Is it possible to get smaller tips Woody ? Bit like the Simon Hope ones ? I was thinking the 10mm one Carbide tools

The round tips I can do with a 12 or 15mm tip but they will have to be ordered from USA and the square tips 10.5 and 12 mm which I have two of each spare or if you want send me your own tips if you can get any other sizes and I will make them up for you also the screw for the tip as they do very in size and I probably wont have the right size screws and I will only charge you for what I supply

OK, now I'm confused even more, is this the right kind of thing ? 10mm 1003 Coated Round Carbide Insert Regualr | eBay

Seems to be a quarter of the US price, so are they crap tips / the wrong thing or what?

Help !
They are for metal Phill not sure if they will work on wood the ones Simon and USA sell are sharpened at the right angle for wood and I have just noticed they are from Hong Kong could be cheap and nasty rubbish
