Welcome Martin! 5 euros for a Spiers coffin smoother - that was a great deal. If you find any more, let me know. I will gladly pay postage. I think I remember a site for someone close to you; he had a lot of chisels: http://www.dutchtools.net/ but I imagine that his stock changes. (I have no business relationship with him other than a customer). We're glad to have you on the list, Gary K Close to Buffalo New York, USA ----- Original Message ----- From: "familie Hagen" |

Glad to have you aboard. Always glad to hear from our euro spending brethern on the other side of the pond. My last and only visit to Holland was in May of 1956, and the canals were all still frozen solid.

Hello people of the porch after been lurking at the old tools archive (watch it everyday) and read all the posts. I was first listed through yahoo but was unable to sent messages so i hope this one gets posted. I am also registered at Richmond tool group. And got my first mail from Bill Taggert he also said that i try the oldtools list. My name is Martin i am 40 years and i am married and have two boys age 8 and 12 i live in Heemskerk the Netherlands and work in Amsterdam as a teacher furniture making at the oldest furniture craftsschool in the netherlands which was founded in 1928. I am en ex student from this school where i have been trained as an furniture restorer which has been my proffesion for allmost 10 years and the last 5 years i am working fulltime as an teacher but i do occasional a small restoration job for relativesor family. My passion is collecting functional woodworking tools and i am searching the internet for info on tools. I am also a member of the Dutch toolcollectors organisation called ambacht en gereedschap. Visit it at: www.ambachtengereedschap.nl i also collect furniture reference books and tool books. And books about furniture restoration. The pride of my tool collection is an spiers coffin style smoother from around 1885/1890 which i bought at the big freemarket at queensday in Amsterdam (a big jumble sale) where i had to pay 5 euro's. This type of plane has been on my wantlist for a long time and i could hardly believe my eyes. This was an great day my friends who where with me allmost started dripping when they saw my find. I also found a stanley 51 and 55 spokeshave marked with the rule and level logo. I also try to bring the love for handwork and classic handtools on to my students at home i work mostly with handtools which will make no noise. I am not a purist but love the way a well tuned tool does the work. The last tool i bought was 2 weeks ago it is an chamfer spokeshave from stanley no. 65 marked with the s-w. Logo. I would like to discuss wiht the other members on topics like restoration and ethics and tool restoration. So hope to hear from you. Greetings, Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Welcome Martin. There are other members from the Netherlands. You can find them on the subscriber list (go from http://ruckus.law.cornell.edu/mailman/listinfo/o ldtools and use your password). It lists email addresses of all members (search for '.nl'). Tool collecting in the Netherlands must be much more fun than in Germany, because your tools are more beautiful and the toolmaking history is much longer. I'm also a member of A&G and of TATHS, both of them great organisations. I'm looking forward to your contributions to the list.
