Lewill2,  these tools by Jim Keats and Hilary Klein are amazing -- incredible -- unbelieveable!  I need to know how to get the PDF copies.  Can you help me find them, please.  Ralph

What a WOW collection.  The Hilary Klein pieces are beautiful.

How long have you been at this?

Note to Bob:  Just send the trophy to Lewill2 and we can call it a day.
If I had one he certainly get it.

Actually Mr amertrac, I would like to see your miniatures.  Did I miss them in an earlier post?  Ralph

Jim Keats as well as Hilary Klein make their wrenches in batches. They make/made one style at a time and they usually don't re-make them again. I believe I got one of the last ones he had of the Hawes run. He didn't have the large knurled screw that locks the head in position on his miniature. For some reason he had a spring loaded ball detent setscrew in that location. I had Jim Leamy (a well known tool restorer and wood plane maker) make a locking screw for mine. I think my miniature Hawes is the only one that has that feature. As far as I know there aren't any miniature Hawes available at this time.
Jim did a "recall" to modify his Hawes miniatures this spring (2014).  He corrected the miniatures to match the full size Hawes ratchet.  He said he had made 10 originally & had found 8 of them to update.

I had mine done by Jim Leamy, added the large knurled screw that locks the Jaw shaft in position.
