Mitre Boxes
(Or, they mitre been called mitre hooks, but them's different!)
|
|
|
|
|
 In days of yore, before the world was our oyster and some of us (better known as "them") could afford fancy mitre saws, the real men would cut
the mitres on their frames under the guidance of a good old Mitre Box. And why not? A perfectly good solution to a simple practical problem, prefectly engineered by Crown Tools.
Made from kilned beech and glued and screwed together (except the miniature version), this mitre box will guide you in the ways, not so much of righteousness as "right-angled-ness" (when you
join your two prefectly mitred frame pieces together.) Unlike the mitre hook, which features only one guiding wall, the mitre box provides guidance to the saw both fore and aft, reducing
errant tendencies (of the saw, of course!).

Mallets
(Or, as Dad used to call 'em, "Knocking Sticks") |
|
|
|
|
A range of traditional carpenter's or joiner's mallets, made by Crown Hand  Tools from first quality kiln dried beech. Designed for general workshop use and ideal where a
mallet is needed for chopping out with a chisel - though take it easy on the finer sizes and styles. Mortise chisels are really made to take the punishment
of heavy use with a mallet but all good quality chisels should feature a shock-absorbing leather washer and a bolstered tang to withstand a degree of
mallet use. Above all, don't fall into the "I'm a rank amateur" trap of using a hammer on your chisels! Sharp intake of breath; sucking of air through clenched teeth, etc. etc. ... ...
Choose from a range of sizes, defined by the length of the straight side on the handle side of the mallet's head. |
