    Good Evening fellow steam folks.

    Apologies in advance if this post is in the wrong section.

    I'm in a very fortunate position to have been learning the art of boilersmithing in the recent years, from a very experienced chap of over 40+ years.
    Having very recently purchased some Boiler Chipping Hammers and Rivet Gun (nearly bankrupt me, lol), I would like to ask if anybody has any round shank chisels of numerous variations available please (caulking, fullering, beading, cutting etc etc.?

    many thanks in advance :)

    95 percent of boiler tools are made from tool blanks rather than bought. Details can be got by pm

    Hey there.
    You are quite right, appreciate your reply thanks. I know my mentor has a great collection he's made/modified over the many years.
    But I was asking, as it would be good to collect a few 'existing' ones from somebody, to get me started at least.
