re: tool collecting

Working on some tool handles for a bunch of files that I have (no handles on any of them). Just going to use Oak, I have a few drops for some Oak stair treads. that will keep me busy for the next week, I have the blanks ready to go, and some of the ferrules cut and ready (Copper Pipe).

During that I have cleanned up the files and started looking for tool marks, found a few Neilson and a Plumb. Guess I need to look them up and see when they were manufactured.
