The warning at the end 😂🤣😂

I didn't realize how much schmusing was going on when it comes to hand tools. Thanks for showing this awesome event. even though I am probably lucky that it's so very far away from me. Thanks for sharing, James!

I was glad to meet you there. Can't wait for the next one.

I would love a casement window video like you said! Super cool idea!

Thank you for the warning.

Great informative video!... I just joined so I can go to the local meet here in the Minneapolis area but the national meet looks like a pretty great event!

I like going to that one from time to time. Usually try to make it once a year.

Thanks for this info as I need a couple of good drawknives. I also realize I may need to take someone who hears better to get something at the auction

I would love to have something like that here in Brazil as well. 😕 Seems pretty fun! Who knows some day... Right? Thanks for the video, James! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I need to to make a shirt that says that!

Lucky you. There are two places I know of to buy old tools where I am. There is no real culture of making things so the tools are typically decorative or for collectors. When the sellers see an expat the price always skyrockets. At one I saw an unusual plane with a blade nearly 4 inches wide and a short wooden body. The asking price for me was around $200. Naturally I passed on that, I later found that a whole range of wooden planes could be brought brand new from the local hardware at prices starting around $15. The plane I use is an old Pope, (a Stanley No4 clone) which I brought at a flea market in Sydney Australia. I got two of them for $20 and manged to get one good plane out of them. I'm pretty restricted space wise so I don't have much in the way of tools but I manage.

You should look up the collecting group in Australia. They occasionally do tool meets.

I wish there was something like this in the uk

Unfortunately, I haven't found any particular tool mates in the UK. There are several tool stores that are dedicated to antique tools but nothing quite like this. The occasionally you do have some pop-up sales from time to time.

Beat place

quick question about the tools gate sale, does it still require to be a member to go there, if so does it also require some kind of entrance paid fee, and if I were to bring an extra person does to any of the meets from tales gate to auction meets? Does that person also need to be a member or do will that need extra payment at the entrance?

@WoodByWrightHowTo

2 жыл бұрын

You have to be a member. That is so we do not have to worry about insurance or taxes as we would if it was open tot he general public. If one person is a member they can bring a guest. but the guest also pays their own entrance fee. There is also an entrance free as this is not just a tool show but a whole conference with events to cover. Some of the smaller local meets only have a $5-$10 entrance fee and there are some that can do it for free. the membership also covers a bunch of other benefits and regular publications that are fantastic! on top of that members get early invites to meets and tool shows with a discounted early rate. Paying at the door is always WAY more.

We in india don't have access to such market..I guess we just have to satisfy ourselves only by watching you guys and hoping someday we can get hold of some the tools 😭

It's on the website. When you become a member of the MWTCA they will send out invites about a month or two before it. On the website there are two different lists. One of them for local events and one of them for the national meets.

Do many younger people show up such as 15 -20

@WoodByWrightHowTo

9 ай бұрын

There are some. But not many. Most people younger than 30 aren't interested in hand tools. That's something that usually comes down the line a little ways. After a while wood working with power tools. But there are a few that find it earlier.

That's mostly the crowd that sits around me lol before I started coming to most of these events the youngest people in the room were in their '70s. I've been trying to turn more people on to the collecting organizations and the average age has been slowly coming down.
