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!

The elf voice warning at the very end of the video was hilarious!! And oh so true. Thanks for posting.

[siririchards]

That looked like so much fun. Very jealous over here! 😃

[coryblake]

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!

[MCsCreations]

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! 🖖😊

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.

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 wish there was something like this in the uk

[zafarenam]

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 😭

[adelheidsnel]

I really enjoyed your vids. I’m a tool junkie!

[theWendigo]

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?

[davanders]

I don't see the Bowling Green, KY meet on the list. Can you let me know when and where it's at?

[nmssis]

James, do you have the list of those dots on the maps?

[watermelonwalter]

if im with 2 other people that arent members, but i am a member, are they allowed in?

[RickFarris]

I thought you said the MWTCA link was down here...
