This video about auger manufacturing turned up after watching something else on YouTube, and led me to discover a fascinating series by Mr Hawley, a tool collector and, it would seem, a historian and film-maker. Worth a look for (re)discovering tools and techniques as they used to be.

Links to a video about Footprint Ltd and the manufacture of auger bits in Sheffield.

Edit – that’s a surprise, I didn’t think it would embed the video in the post.

The Footprint video appeared on my Youtube feed a couple of days ago as well. I also came across this video about hand saw making in Sheffield:

Referring back to a previous discussion on the forum, https://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/topic/fash/ I was intrigued that both of the narrations referred to the excess material from stamping and profiling as fash.

Delightful chap, who used to own a tool emporium in Sheffield.
Much of the collection is at Kelham Island Museum, and there’s 80+ videos here, featuring both archive footage and recordings of more recent lectures

https://www.youtube.com/@KenHawleyCollectionTrust/videos

The trust bearing his name has a huge collection of Sheffield tooling, some visible at the museum, and I believe other stuff available by appointment
https://www.hawleytoolcollection.com

Included in the trust’s links, also see Name on a Knife Blade

Some lectures coming up for anyone in travelling distance; it’s an easy walk from either bus or train stations, but if driving in a van, beware the clean air zone charges.
