Ken Hawley YouTube videos

[Grindstone CowboyParticipant @grindstonecowboy]

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.
