One of my favourite commissions is restoring old hand tools. For a quote, please read the information on this page and then contact me with:

​

a) the type of tool

b) the current state of the tool

c) relevant background and special requests

d) level of restoration wanted

​

Here is a model enquiry if you are unsure what to include. I am also happy for you to post tools to me for me to assess myself before giving you a quote.

​

What level of restoration would you like?

 

There are two approaches that are important to consider when decising on the level of restoration, and this is whether your tool is a collectable or if you'd like it to be used. My speciality is restoring tools to 'like new' for those who wish to use them, but I am still very happy to perform light restoration work on collectable tools to help preserve them for future enjoyment.

​

Examples of resoration work that I will perform on a tool to return it to a useable condition include:

​

Rust removal

Edge regrinding and sharpening

Wood waxing

Polishing

Leather nourishment

Paint touch ups or full re-painting

Sourcing replacement parts

Re-handling
