Each is different and, in some strange way, seems to give a glimpse of the individual from a former generation who was the maker. The tool is often the only legacy of immortality left by a frail Mortal who lived many decades ago. My fascination is shared by those who collect and enjoy "our handmade heritage". We respect and admire ingenuity which makes man strive to improve his lot and then invent the methods of doing so. This fascination has a subtle way of catching up with one and then the handmade heritage becomes a passion and ~ an obsession." [from the preface].
