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

I don't think this has been added.  It's a good source for replacement backsaw blades, and parts:

And these guys have scans of saw handles, if you'd like to make one yourself:

If you can't find the molding plane you need on ebay, this is a good source to check:

Stuart is a GREAT guy that's also willing to answer any questions.

He has a great sharpening stone selection as well.

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.

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.
