Welcome everyone

In my spare time I like to use woodworking as a way to zone out. I have inherited some good old chisels from my father. they are so old you would think that they have been in the war. But the quality of the iron back then was different than it is today. And with a little blood sweat and tears, they can get as good as new again. What I can not do on my own though, is to get some new stickers for the handles. There is no where to get these anymore.

This is where you come into the picture. I'm looking for someone who will give their best shot at recreating one or more of these labels. I have managed to gather some pictures. However, the curves and sizes of some of the letters on the decal needs to be edited, for it to be correct when they are finally printed out and put on the shaft (let me know if this is not cler enough)

Here is a link to the labels:

The label is 35 x 19 mm. I do not know what size of payment is reasonable. But tune in and we will discuss this.

Best Regards

This seems interesting. I can give this a shot

I'm willing to take on this endeavor.

Would love to see progress photos on your restoration work if you took any.

Somehow I can't edit my previous post anymore. But just to make things clear; you need to take into consideration that the picture was taken by a sticker which is on a convex shape. The image/file I need somehow needs to account for this. There is also the fact that the tone of the logo will change when a finish will be applied. So, for me to be able to get as close as possible to mint condition, I need to be able to change the tone on the logo, to do some tests. I hope this helps to clarify what I need.





There will be process pictures, but like I said. It needs a lot blood, sweat and tears before i can even put on the decal ;P So I am in no rush. And I would love any of you to do the job. But I am not qualified to know who is able to make it happend and for what cost.

Am a bit confused by this post, but ill try to make something

Here is my attempt. Can always change colors and do modifications

Just realized border not smooth due to resizing and adjusting towards the end but can easily be fixed

Made to fit your specified dimensions but seems slightly less rounded than I think the original is... Are you 100% on the measurements?

Can change to whatever colors you want.

Great work. Let me get back to you some time tomorrow. Just got home after a long day at work Oh, and now that you mention it. It seems that I got the measure wrong. the with is 35 mm alright, but the heigh is 24. This might make it less oval?

Yeah that's a big difference on such a small scale.

Here it is with the updated dimensions:
