For our woodworking tools, we favor usefulness and quality over rarity. With that said, we do have some rare pieces. However, as woodworkers ourselves, we tend to select items that reflect our belief that good tools belong in the workshop instead of in the curio cabinet.

West Groton, Massachusetts is only a stone's throw away from the finest manufacturers, past and present, of precision machinist's tools and instruments. We feature Starrett, Brown and Sharp, Goodell Pratt, and Lufkin tools, as well as wrenches from Coes, Bemis and Call, Billings and Spencer and others.

This category contains some of our favorite items. Look in here for books, catalogs, antique machines, mechanical, electrical, and optical devices and parts as well as some new tools at reasonable prices.

Nothing for sale here, just lots of old tool photos, advertisements, catalog scans, general information, and links to other tool and woodworking related sites.
