Looking to trade my grandpas old woodcarving tools for leatherworking tools.

Recommended Posts

Hello! So, my grandpa died about a year ago and I got some of his wood carving hand tools. He was an amazing woodcarver. Unfortunately I am not, and I am much more into leatherworking. I dont think he would mind if I traded them for some tools that I could use as long as Im not just cashing them in. I really dont know anything about carving so Im including a photo gallery for you to look at. I tried to make sure any makers marks could be seen. Some dont have any though. The ones with weird looking handles have hot glue on them that he used for better grip and it comes off easy without leaving marks on the handle. 

Here is the gallery: http://imgur.com/a/C6rmP   It isnt in the pictures, but they all have been stored with a plasztic protector over the blades except the bigger chisel.

I am looking for:

-a set of 5 or 6mm diamond chisels

-edge bevelers of almost any kind

-Any tools you think are important to a beginner leatherworker, just make an offer!

Just my two cents.......don't get rid of anything that was your grandpa's!  You will very likely regret it someday.  What you will receive in trade will not compare in quality or  family value to what you have. Getting started in leather with basic tools is relatively inexpensive......

I'd say dont sell as well.   You'll probably regret it one day if you do.   Besides, most of what you have posted are cutting tools that can be useful in one way or another in leatherwork!
