Hi everyone! Yes guys, it is me! Having spent a while with AOC in Watford, then served my time with the Tali-HAT empire and on to Essex (I seem to remember exchanging cake recipes in the pub whilst in essex with you Chris 
)
I apologise for my slowness to respond, but Broadband hasn't made it to my part of Dartmoor yet and I only get to the internet when visiting my lovely lady at the weekend.
I'm going to send a prototype out for testing in a few weeks time, and though I haven't priced it yet (having not had the opertunity to make one) I expect the cost of a trowel will be around ?35. I can do you a leaf for ?20, and ofcourse to you spec (so if you want it stiffer or broader, more pointed, etc than normal just say so).
All of my tools have my name stamp on them so you can identify my work. Also If you want to have your name or initials inlayed into a wooden handle that can be done. I did this for Sue Johnston (sp?) when I worked for Essex, she had a brass inlay of her name into a bubinga wood handle made for her WHS.
I'm glad to see that there is genuine interest in some handmade tools, all I have to do is make some!
