    Default Review - Vintage Tool Shop, Melbourne (and online)

    I just sold a couple of lovely old hand saws to scottbr, who generously attributed their condition to my expertise. Unfortunately I can't claim to have had a hand in their refurbishment - the credit goes to Vintage Tool Shop in Northcote, Melbourne. Scott can say more about the actual saws here if he likes, but I just wanted to leave a general recommendation here for anyone who might not know about the shop.

    They have a decent online shop, but much more in store too. Mike who owns the shop is knowledgeable and great to deal with. I still have some other (massive) saws from VTS - I only sold the others because I happened upon some Lie Nielsen & Bad Axe upgrades.

    The saws in their online shop at the moment are particularly expensive, but I've bought 5 or so from them over time that have been in the range of $100-160. That may not appeal to those of us who can buy something for $20 and rehab it, but considering their expert labour, shopfront costs etc, it's great value to me. There are few (if any?) similar places in Australia, so I reckon they're worth supporting!

    Thanks Ben
    I don’t think there is a shop like that in Sydney. Melbourne does that sort of thing much better.
    Melbourne also has much better mid century furniture shops than Sydney.
    But we do have that harbour and those beaches.
