Hello all. I am not a tool collector, but I do love vintage woodworking hand tools. For me there is a lot of satisfaction in owning and using tools that still function well after the passage of many years. I greatly admire the patina that well cared for old tools acquire - wood and metal surfaces that have grown lovely through long time handling and use. I also have great fondness for the wonderful tool manufacturer's catalogs and advertisements of yesteryear.
