Old School Tools originates from the terminology referring to the tools used by a past craftsman,
My interest in collectable woodworking tools has escalated over the latter years and has now become more of an obsession than a hobby as many collectors will tell you, some will collect a range of different tools others would try and collect one type of tool as there are many varieties and makers, whether it be axe's, rule's, hammer's, measuring instruments or plane's just a few of the many that are being sought after by the collector,
At first when starting out you would probably pick up something at the cheaper end of the market but the more you sought the better quality you wanted,
Plane's seem to be the market leader in terms of value and can fetch high prices at auction houses, the collector likes to find these where possible in there original condition (uncleaned) as sometimes people can think that a sparkling clean tool fetches a higher price? not always the case professional tool collectors like to clean them there selves some not even wishing to clean them at all so its always best to leave the cleaning to the collector's desire.

I regularly travel around the country so if you have any tools that may be of an interest to me please let me know as at some point I would be passing by,  you can contact me on the above number or e-mail address let me know where you are and what you may wish to sell.

Something you may be looking for?
If you are looking for something in particular why not ask as I have lots of tools not listed including spare irons and parts for a lot of tools.
