VINTAGE HANDTOOLS

Life is short, you need to enjoy your tools!
P S & W Socket Bevel Chisels

Peck Stow & Wilcox Socket Bevel Chisels. It took a long time to assemble this set of fine chisels. I refitted these with East Indian Rosewood handles, before my son was wood turning. My greatest thrill in building the new dream ship was when I finally got to the point of fitting my new bench with drawers and getting my hand tools out of the boxes they had been in for two years. When I laid these chisels into a new cork-bottomed drawer, what a joy!

P S & W Socket Firmer Chisels

Peck Stow & Wilcox Socket Firmer Chisels. Again, it took a long time to assemble this set. I’m still in the process of refitting them with Rosewood handles.

Collection of Planes and Scrapers

These are ready for woodwork!

Collection of Miter Boxes

Collection of Miter Boxes all cleaned up and ready for work.

Hand Screw Clamp Tree

Clamp Tree for hand screw clamps. I’ve been wanting to make something like this for a long time, and finally got around to it. Notice that there is room for more clamps; you can’t have too many.

Langdon/Millers Falls Miter Trimmer
