    Default My Ebony Handtool Obsession

    Over the years I have been blessed in being able to obtain some amazingly beautiful and functional tools from tool makers here in Australia and from all corners of the world. I will be offering up many tools for sale in the near future, in the appropriate thread of course. In this tread I will put up links to many photos on my IG account of the user tools that I will be keeping.
    I have been blessed to get to know many of the tool makers and I have enjoyed working on doing justice to the tools.
    Several links to many photos of the Ebony tools that I have grown quite attached to. They are all user tools.

    A absolutely awesome collection of tools, or should that be pieces of art.
    I hate to think of the money spent there.

    Cheers Matt

    I would not buy this stuff in my current situation. Most of the tools were purchased/ordered many years ago and I'd just get them as they come up on the production schedule or not. The US/AU exchange rate has put a halt to anything other than the AU tool makers and even then I have had to put a stop to it all. I will be selling off many tools in the coming months but not the Ebony stuff here. I have many sets of tools by several makers that were from early production runs or preproduction prototypes or tools with a unique feature or two. All of them in pristine condition or used state. They Ebony stuff stays with me till I am no more.
