Hi chaps, Thanks for the kind comments. I do get time to look on the forum now and then, but if anything I'm only ever on Twitter. However, I'm now even removing myself from that. I always like to get email from people with interesting hand tool tidbits however, so if you have any pics...

Hi Richard Sent you an email on your website Sky address, but it bounced back? Hope you're very well. Looking for a set of Math blades for the plough here, if you know of anyone? It will need the grooved back ones I think. http://hackneytools.com/2014/07/mathies ... le-planes/ All the best...

thanks, I'll check them out

Hi, Can anyone point me to a really good classic book on the above? I've had the Andy Rae one recommended to me, but wondered if there are others? Bob Lang also seems to rate highly. Need to score a few of these books and gen-up pretty sharpish so I can have a go on my own kitchen. If anyone...

Hello Dangermouse, I'm sorry, I don't know. I've come across a lot of black metal tools, but that has usually come about through the older guys wiping them over with oil before putting them away.

Hi Andy I'll do my best. Nice to know people are actually reading the blog. I thought of it as my own place to gather bits of info to start with, but just recently there seems to have been a small rennaissance in working with hand tools, instead of powered. Not that I've got anything against...

Hi Mark, Nice to hear from you. Would be great to meet up. Your bench is very nice! I don't have a shop I'm afraid, I deal in vintage tools from a room in my house, haha. Stuff that comes in and will go soon stays in the room, stuff that I want to hang onto goes in the loft. The long term plan...

Hello UK Workshop I've been prompted to join after seeing 64 links views of the Hackney Tools website! Thanks to you all for taking an interest, I'll try to post some more photo stories of London businesses specialising in traditional woodworking technique. All ideas welcomed. All the best Gary
