Safety equipment and new (old) chisels

Today we were asked to meet at TWOA campus to pick up our class materials which included stationery, safety equipment and a new taonga pukapuka for the collection.  I was stoked with all of them, especially the safety gear because there was some awesome equipment for us to use at home and in the classroom. 

I also purchased some 2nd hand chisels on Whangarei Marketplace.  The chisels belonged to George Campbell of Onerahi.  I sent a photo to my bro to see if they were worth buying so I could start my own collection of chisels.  He gave me the thumbs up so I bought them after chatting with his daughter on fb messenger.

When I went to pick them up I asked Anne about her Dad (so I could have a korero about the chisels that were coming home to my workshop) We had an awesome korero and I told her it was an honour having her Dad's chisels and I'll refer to them as 'Hori's chisels' she was pretty stoked as I told her about my new whakairo journey.  She gifted a set of smaller chisels too.  She also said I could have the plastic case too and throw it out if I wanted.  I thanked her and said Hori's chisels will live in the case.  I did give it a bit of a make over when I got home to Tangiteroria and Dad and I primed and prepped it and I used some stencils I bought in Samoa to decorate my chisels case.  I love them and the case they live in!
