In Memorium
If you happen to read my hand tool review in the Christmas edition of Furniture & Cabinetmaking, I would like to point out a serious omission.
I failed to mention that many of the excellent hand tools featured are only available in the UK from Mike Hancock at Classic Hand Tools.
Mike takes great pains to find and stock good tools from all over the world. He then travels incessantly promoting them at woodworking shows.
If we do not support small specialist suppliers they will cease to exist, and the tool world will be a great deal poorer, with less choice.
I hope this post does not stretch the moderation rules, but I wish to make amends for my thoughtless and unintentional omission.
best wishes,
David Charlesworth
