An ENTIRE FURNITURE SHOP in one tool box! // Woodworking

------------------------

I'm Anne of All Trades. In Seattle, I have a woodworking, blacksmithing and fabrication shop, a selection of furry friends, and an organic farm. This channel is aimed at sharing my passion for working with my hands, being a good steward of the earth, and preserving antiquated skills and traditions.

Help Support this project and others!

Other places you can find me.

My goal is to learn and share those techniques and skills that are in danger of becoming antiquated traditions. Whether it's carving spoons, making my own hand tools, or growing heirloom tomatoes, the farm and workshop definitely keep me busy and support on Patreon helps me to keep producing quality content to share on YouTube, Instagram, and my website.

You can support me through your purchases. Some of these links are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I might earn a little extra if you click and there's a sale.

I watched the build video and am very happy to see the tool chest filled and in use! For all the viewer concerned with the cost of high end heirloom tools: There are a number of You-Tube Channels were the makers show how to make the basic tools needed or aquire them at low cost. Pask Makes, Wood by Wright, Paul Sellers and Rex Krueger are just the tip of the iceberg. As you go along, you can later replace individual tools with high end versions as your finances allow or you heart desires.

Hi Anne
I also have many hand tools. I love using them, many of them were my grandfather's. My tool chest was made by my grandfather so all the tools have significant conscious value to me. He died when I was 16 and left them to me. Many family members wondering what his 16 year old granddaughter a girl was going to do with hand saws hammers planes etc. They couldn't have been further wrong I have used them all my life and they hold very precious values to me of grandfather using them and showing his very young granddaughter how to use them. Thanks Anne
Ashleigh 💖

I think this is the third or fourth time I am looking at this video. Anne, thank you so much for sharing with us all, your amazing work and tools. I just bought a 100 year old English tool chest and I am busy restoring it. It has no tills inside, so I will be making them myself. As space is at a premium, I am trying to figure out how to fit it all inside when I am done. Again, thank you for this!

Very nice. When I got out of the service at age 22, I started woodworking. I had the good fortune to inherit some old tools that my great-grandfather used in his business of building houses in the summer and making coffins in the winter. I was and still am, a traditional woodworker. I have a lot of the old school tools, but I realized here lately that the older I get, the more power I use. There is something to be said for power. It is a hard way to turn a bowl on a spring -pole lathe at the age of 75 even if I do have two motors to run the thing! Thanks for keeping the traditional way going.

Thanks for the D̶u̶t̶c̶h̶ ̶T̶o̶o̶l̶ Treasure Chest tour Anne, really nice neatly organized collection! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[clickityclackity]

Wow ! I’ve often seen you on Instagram with goats but, had no idea you did traditional wood working! Yaay !

[timothymallon]

You have one of the sickest tool collections I have ever seen. For modern examples of classic tools, yours are astounding. I'm more than a little jealous. That bronze smoother with the cocobolo furniture is a dream! Thanks for the amazing look at your goodies

I've been having this realisation lately, I don't need all these power tools, it's too much fuss. This chest is like a sign from where dreams are made. This is brilliant, everything you need in one manageable sized box.

That's an impressive toolbox full of beautiful tools you certainly should be proud of! Love seeing the tools you use to make your wonderful projects! I hope they all get packaged really well for the move and nothing disappears during the move. My friend moved about 8 months ago due to a job position change within the company and the company paid for a moving company to relocate him. When the truck arrived at the new house his 70" T.V. was missing and the moving company couldn't find where it had been "misplaced." Even now he still hasn't had any resolution on it. That's why I decided to move everything myself when I bought my new house.

When you mentioned "Preserve Tradition" it made my soul smile :) Im a hand tool "freak", and I enjoy very much the old way of doing id nearly go as far as to say working by hand is like a form of "therapy" for me, thats why I began working by hand; to quieten my mind... I think you might understand what I mean by that <3
I have coveted the Hamilton marking gauge for years now, but I am unable to afford higher end tools like that. Ive thought about making my own version, but it wouldnt be the same as his maybe someday :)
Your tool kit in the chest is impressive to say the least, I like the matching wood for some of your handles, its a nice touch. I very much enjoyed your tour, thank you for sharing it with us.... I hope you are well Anne :)

As a Dutch, I do not know why these are called that way, but at this point I don't mind. This Toolchest is amazing and filled with some great tools! Keep up the good work.

[jessjulian]

I still say, you are a very cool savvy lady. And a joy to listen to. Thanks for sharing your talents.

[tonyburelle]

What a wonderful video, you bring such joy, love and respect for your beautiful tools and chest, you have so much to be extremely proud of, thanks for sharing your joy and knowledge

[LazyAHoleRanch]

Not a show piece.... hush, sister. Everything you touch is beautiful.
Hope you had a lovely holiday with your family. ❤️

I'm sold. This is on the project list. For me, with a small workshop, organisation is a must. This defo helps with that. Like you say, its also a great opportunity to try out and practise some joinery that i either haven't done yet or not done for a while. Thank you for sharing 👍

[txheritage]

That’s one of the first Auger Bit Rolls I ever made!

[triune_blades]

Those are some beautiful tools! Thanks for sharing this video!

[Negativezero]

A focus on high-quality tools from smaller, individual toolmakers and a Dutch tool chest...I can smell a fellow Chris Schwartz fan from miles away!

[aaronalton]

Incredible and inspiring as always. You're the reason I've been collecting more hand planes and have confidence in sharpening my hand tools

[greatboniwanker]

That is one amazing tool chest. Thanks for the inspo!
