Old lead working tools wanted

[ecowarm]

Looking for old lead working tools, post pictures

Linum vitae and boxwood bossing mallets, turnpins and bobbins all sizes for use in a lead workshop.

Anything from the colleges or training schools? now lead work is not for plumbers?

You could get in touch with the poster of this thread I suppose, he doesn't know what turnpins are.

Mystery item help ?

monodex cutters?? i used these on copper cylinders when cutting in immersors

Monodex were fine for cylinders but i used to use a cone cutter for galvy tanks or another tank cutter with an arm that was used with a brace. It looked like those holesaws on some tile cutters.

How times have changed lol
