Rob Cosman

Source of everything dovetails.  Great videos and specialized tools.

 

Craftsman Studio

Supplier of numerous lines of hand tools.  Great prices, shipping, and customer service.

 

Lie Nielsen

In our opinion, they have led the current return of classic hand tools.  Believe me,

we have spent lots of money with them.

 

Brese Plane

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.

Maker of the best marking gauges and innovative hammers and saws.

 

Sawmill Creek

Home of the best woodworking forums on the internet.  Great source of information and friends.
