As certified tool junkies, we have many favorites. The list below contains some of our sources for tools, woodworking supplies, and instructional information.
Rob Cosman
Source of everything dovetails. Great videos and specialized tools.

In our opinion, they have led the current return of classic hand tools. Believe me,
we have spent lots of money with them.

Ron Brese makes the finest infill style planes. Be warned of the obsession that may develop from using one.
Blue Spruce Toolworks
Makers of the finest dovetail chisels and outstanding layout tools.
Adria Saws
Makers of excellent dovetail and tenon saws. Another addiction, I admit.
