This fellow has a good reputation, and has been around for some time. He's an active participant on at least one forum. Excellent selection of hand tools. Knows the 'old ways' pretty well.

I'd suggest starting with a modest order, for two reasons.

I ordered a wood smoothing plane from them a year or so ago and had a very good experience.

I had been considering Shapton stones, and found this site with a deal

-- got a set of 1000, 5000, and 8000 Shapton Professional stones for about $205, or about $30 less than buying separate stones from Woodcraft or about anyone else I could find.

That's a dead serious topic. I got suckered into giving information to a fake escrow service. The web site was very slick. I just thank god that the scam became pretty obvious and that I used some basic precautions out of habit.

I bought the same set about 2 months ago, I love them. Before was using scary sharp, with the Shaptons the process is much faster, much sharper, and less trouble. Not to mention I can take a stone to a soccer practice and do a set of chisels/blade blades in a matter of minutes while I talk with other parents or the curious little kids.

Joel was great to deal with, shipping was via fed ex ground, well priced. I plan to buy from them again. Probably a courser shapton next.

Thanks though

Oh, it's

Hey all, So I received my order today from Tools For Working Wood and can easily say I would order from them again. The invoice even had a handwritten note thanking me for my order.

That sounds good, I am going to order my first Norton water stones from them, will be my first order with them. I also want the Ashley Iles American pattern butt chisels. What did you get?
