Up for sale is an exceptional, collector-grade vintage 6-piece woodturning tool set. These high-quality lathe tools were crafted by Henry Taylor Tools Limited under their renowned "Diamic" line. Manufactured in Sheffield, England—a region historically celebrated globally for producing premium edge tools—this set likely dates to the mid-to-late 20th century, identifiable by the distinctive yellow handles and the original blue presentation box.
Condition (Pristine / As-Found)
Finding a complete Sheffield set in this untouched condition is incredibly rare. These tools are in pristine, "as-found" condition.
They have been treated with very gentle handling and received only a light dusting to preserve their immaculate original state.
The premium tool steel is exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and required absolutely no derusting.
The bright yellow wooden handles are in fantastic shape and did not require any linseed oil conditioning.
Every single handle still prominently displays its original, unpeeled red and gold diamond "Henry Taylor Tools Limited / Diamic / Sheffield England" sticker.
What's Included
Six (6) traditional woodturning tools featuring strong Sheffield steel blades and securely fitted handles, including gouges, a skew chisel, a scraper, and a parting tool.
The original blue Henry Taylor presentation box, complete with the front Diamic logo.
This is a remarkably clean time-capsule set, perfect for a vintage tool collector or a serious woodturner who appreciates older Sheffield steel formulations.
