Looks like what you'd find in a 1900's era surgeon's bag.

Care to educate us as to the use of each, or maybe you don't know yet? ;)  Agreed, some sweet (read: expensive) looking instruments.

What a fine collection of tools!  :bow:

Yes, I'd like to know how they are used, too. Some you can figure out by looking at them, but others......?

Seems almost like you could carve sand without a pattern for some things, with a set like that. Is that the reason for them?  :coffee:

Basically they are for repairing / smoothing the surface of the mould cavity , thats why they have different arch's , curves  and sections . Also used for cutting gates and runners . These are of the forged high carbon steel variety , opposed  to the  cheaper cast brass type . 

Sand box tools  :)

Now I better put the wife's cutlery back in the draw  :lol: :lol:

Just need to get round to  making  a few trowels of different shapes and sizes  :dremel:
