sources for "old school" tools

pyotr filipivich · 2023-03-23T14:55:12+00:00

The other day I got an auction site in my social media feed. Lotsof old tools. "Ook, ook, me want!" But these are being sold as collectibles and for "collectors",which is cool and groovey, but ... I'm looking for tools I can use. Onthe other hand, I see tools I didn't know I wanted until I see thepicture. E.G., "Stair rabbet saw" - which could also be a "kerfcutter" for ripping timbers /lumber. And similar old school toolswhich put the "work" into "woodworking". (After using the hand tools,you understand why power tools were invented. But I digress.) Like a lot of these things - I could make one, but who has thetime? So, recommendations for sources for similar hand tools? Or parts?

The auction appears *very* similar, but it appears to be a different company that the one I posted a link to earlier. Looks like good stuff, huh? My wife said she'd wait for me in the lobby (of the hotel). : )

It's worse than that. I think she has a cell phone growing out of her hand! : )
