About

I was born and raised in Montana my grandparents were all raised on homesteads so doing it yourself is deeply instilled in me. Over the course of my 70 years I have been a machinist and welder, furniture maker, scenic design professor, theatrical technical director, hand tool woodworker. My grandfather started me using hand tools from the time I was about 8 years old so I have a deep respect for taking care of tools. I enjoy bringing unused and forgotten tools back to work again and putting them into the hands of folks who will enjoy them.
Generally I only do as much as necessary to make a hand tool function as well as or better than new. I try to allow as much of the hard earned patina to remain, and NO I'm not one of those folks who consider "rust" to be patina. I believe all tools were made to be used. Like many tool users I have my "shelf queens" but even they are often put to work. I hope you enjoy the tool you purchase from me and that it will be eventually passed along.

    Plane was in great condition, packed with care. It worked very well out of the box. The description was clear and accurate. It was helpful to me to read the intent of the seller in restoring and maintaining their tools. It was an easy decision to buy from them!

Good product, but expensive.
I bought this to modify for use on a Worksharp3000 it worked well with a lot of adaptation. I do feel it's over priced for what it is.
