    Default More Australian Hand Tool Makers Needed

    Folks...over on my new website... handtoolmakers.com, I've been adding hand tool makers from the south of me (an easy thing to do as I live in Massachusetts, USA). I know there have to be more to list in the site. So if you know of someone who makes hand tools for a living, or for a partial living, or if you sell the hand tools you make, please drop me a line.

    Once I get most of the commercial listings finished, I'll move on to the Shop Made section.

    If you're wondering what the blazes I'm talking about, stop by

    http://handtoolmakers.com

    Thanks
    Gary

    Thanks. It's something I've wanted to get to for a while and finally found the time in retirement.

    Here's a link to another quality toolmaker from Australia called Colen Clenton.

    Here's a link to his stuff on the HNTGordon website

    Yours websites are interesting, thanks for posting.

    Thanks. I see I'll have to add some links to the tool makers HNT Gordon sells (in addition to their planes). I'll add Clenton and search out the other ones.
