flairwoodworks Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'd kind of like to keep this topic to hand tool links only no comments. thanks Joe Joe, You realise the irony of your post, right? I won't be an offender. This is the MOTHER OF ALL SITES. It's a whole website dedicated to what this thread is dedicated to. If you notice that any companies are missing, e-mail Gary Roberts and he will add it. Check it out - HandToolMakers.com Also, Patrick's Blood and Gore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I don't think this has been added. It's a good source for replacement backsaw blades, and parts: http://www.wenzloffandsons.com/ And these guys have scans of saw handles, if you'd like to make one yourself: http://www.tgiag.com/saw-handle-scans.html If you can't find the molding plane you need on ebay, this is a good source to check: http://www.thebestthings.com/molding.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wouldwurker Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Been having a hard time finding a good 'basics of hand planes' video. This is the best one I've seen yet, from Herit. School of WW. About 22 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LBbxC9KQBY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget Japanwoodworker.com And I got a beautiful dovetail saw from Erik at floriptools .com He also has some really cool looking brass marking gauges.

Greg Ricketts Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 It has been a LONG time since anyone has provided links here. Here are a few of my favorite sources on antique hand planes: https://www.timetestedtools.net/ Don Wilwol's site on anything Sargent, and many others. https://www.plane-dealer.com/ Mark Nickel collector of all Size 1 and 2 planes. Very skilled restorer and great writer about the collecting experience. https://woodandshop.com/ Joshua Farnsworth runs a wood working school. Here you will find extremely helpful information on Stanley planes including an automated type study identifier and a cutting iron trademark data table. Joshua's site also hosts many wood working guides, videos, interviews. Lots to see and do. http://www.vaughanandbushnellplanes.com/ Best information on Vaughn & Bushnell planes. Outstanding planes in looks and performance. https://aplanelife.us/ My own site focused on Fulton planes. I restore all types of planes as a hobby and occasionally present a few for sale. If you like antique hand planes that look as good or better than new, check out my style of highly restored antique planes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
