I live in Mount Vernon about an hour away from there. I had no idea they were there so thanks! I drove up today and bought a few tools. I asked him if anyone ever mentioned that they heard about him from your Chanel. He laughed and said "about ten people a day".
The quality under that patina, is unmatchable, with today's junk that sell as tools all over the world. If I was there, I would spend a fortune and fill a truck full of tools before leaving the place.
I went over there yesterday, 2 1/2 hrs drive from Dayton where I’m working, bought a handful of gouges, which will now be returned to England (with me) where a couple of them originated. Thanks for the recommendation James, great store, all kinds of cool stuff to see there. Helpful and friendly staff.
Excellent stuff 👍
Back when they really made things to last. Beautiful and great quality. Thank You. ❤ love always ❤❤❤
Thanks for driving all that way to share with us. Fantastic store! I'll plan on a trip there this summer for sure. Can't wait!
And now that I wondered over there yesterday, I can say it truly is a wonderland of hand tools. Definitely make this a destination sometime.
I love that store and Dan is a very nice guy I've spent over two thousand bucks in there.
I recommend
This store to any woodworker who loves old tools
The Farriers Rasp can and is used in Wood Working, its the quickest way to remove large areas of wood. Yes it leaves a very rough surface, yes it can cause tear out, but Shipwrights are the ones who (from what I learned as a kid from Sailors who retired to farms) invented that kind of Rasp and Farriers started to buy them from Navy Surplus stores and using them.
Perfect timing for this - we're driving from Western NY to visit my daughter in Ohio at the end of the month, and visiting here just got added to the agenda! Can't wait to see in person. Thanks!
I absolutely love this video!! So much history! It's also lovely knowing the care, thought and dedication people put into making their tools/tool chests/work benches is honoured so well.
Would love to see videos about the individual items in more detail and what we can learn from them. So why all the different workbenches have various features and how useful they are.
One of my favorite places on earth. I met Dan when the store was on Main Street in Millersburg.; a woodworker’s candy store. Now it’s even better. Thanks for the video. Makes it easier to explain to folks.
So as Colonial Homestead happens to be in the middle of Holmes county, and my wife has always wanted to visit there, I'm calling Jackpot! Thank you James! Not only are your videos educational and inspirational, you're a wonderful WDR! (Woodworkers Destination Reference) :)
What an awesome store!! Thanks for sharing I can't wait to visit!!! Thanks for all that you do to share in your craft!
Did you get there?
I visited the old store a couple times while on road trips. I'm looking forward to seeing the new one.
OMG. I've got a huge collection of tools, but what he has there is absolutely amazing. Have to say I use a lot of hand tools, (gouges, chisels, planes) along with my power tools, but nothing like this. wonderful that this type of store still exists.
SALUTE TO THOSE WHO CREATED THESE TOOLS THAT ARE POWERFUL THOU NON ELECTRIC OPERATED IT MAKE OTHERS WORK AND THEIR LIFE BETTER EVEN TILL MODERN DAYS THESE TOOLS ARE STILL SO USEFUL AND BEAUTIFUL WORKING CONDITION.
Cannot be denied Western countries made are of best and lasting qualities. Cannot believe these tools are still available even owners not owing them.
Im Irish..... this alone makes me want to cross the pond 🤣 a LOT of that stuff is basically non-existent on my side of the water.
Great video James, I enjoyed this 😁
Come on over. We accept all types of people over here accept those meaning to do harm to the masses or to our children. So, unless you happen to be a terrorist or a child harming person, come on over and take a tour of our vast lands and attractions, the majority of our people's will welcome you with open arms. Just be warned, same as anywhere else in the world, we have the occasional arse-hole too.
Great place. I picked up a Stanley saw set with box and instruction. This is definitely the place to go for vintage tools. But it ain’t cheap - no yard sale prices. But they have what you want and it’s top-notch, cleaned-up, sharp, etc. So just go with the right mindset. Can you find tools cheaper? Yes, but you have to hunt them down, be lucky, have them shipped. Plus, the service you get here is super.
That is awesome! I am located about 30 min from there and never have heard of it! Thanks!
The tools on bench you are going through around 24. minute looks like violin/cello maker's tools.
This is very interesting craft which is (as I know) quite rare in US, but in Europe we have a lot violin makers and rich history of this craft. I consider it as kind of highest level of woodworking...
Few tools I recognized on the video:
The setter you were looking on is for soundpost - a little wooden pin that is pushed between top and bottom plate - it transform the sound from top to bottom plate. To set it (on already assembled violin) you have to pass it through the little f-shape hole and set it using this setter.
Some of the smaller taper reamers are for holes for string pegs.
You can also see a lot of clamps used during violin assembly (in the back of the bench) - they look like big screws. When gluing main body of the violin (hide glue is used even nowadays for easy disassemble during repair works) a lot of such clamps is used around all sides.
There is also few of little violin makers planes in the right part of the bench - they have very little sole to suite all curved areas.
Thank you very much, very good video, a lot of tools I've seen for the first time and can never see them here in Europe...
Oh my. Definitely worth a 10-hour drive starting at 0100! I love how it seems you’re so excited that you’re almost out of breath.
I find the horseshoe rasps to be quite useful in getting rid of a lot of wood in a hurry when carving out a stock for a new longrifle.
The "setter" is also called a sound post setter. Luthiers use them to set the sound posts in violin family instruments. The big ones might be used on a bass. I'm sure there are other applications.
How lucky you are guys having such stores.
Thanks for showing this one, James. In-laws live outside of Columbus, Oh. Looks like the next trip to visit them will have a day trip to Amish country. Safe travels home. Thanks!
Way cool! Been buggin' my Hub about what he'd like to do for his 65th birthday!! As usual..his answer is..
"aw.... nuthin'"….. He's SUCH FUN!
So I think I may Shanghai his 'old' rear end & bring him down!!🤷🏽♀️,.....
I may not be able to afford much,..
but I'm sure we'll have a blast dreaming about what we could do!!🤗😂
I ALREADY see about 20-25 things that I'D WANT!! (but shucks, my birthday isn't until fall!....typical!🤨🙆🤣)
Cool stuff!! (I've been wanting my own wood lathe for only 30ish years!!🥴🤦
Rats!!!) Great Goodies!!
thanks for the tour!!
The “Setter” is a sound post setter for inside under the bridge, treble side of a bass, cello etc. the smaller the setter….violin.
Enjoyed the video James. My wife and I visited Holms County and surrounding area last summer and I missed visiting this shop. I hope you had time to visit Lehman's Hardware Store. Its a museum and a store.Thanks for taking the time to produce the video.Y'all take care and God bless.
This is SO cool that you're in my neighborhood. I've been watching your channel for a Long time. Got my first set of Hollows and Rounds there. I'll be back for more toys next weekend. 👍
It is a nice store, glad they are in the area. It's always interesting just to walk in. Although, I don't always know all the tools. Nice video very informative.
The thing at 40 min is to turn sheet metal into tube. Cut to sheet to length & width (with some calculations). Insert into split rod, roll & eventually tighten the jaws until required diameter is reached. Probably solder the joint. It may be possible to make a tapered tube as you might use on an oiling can.
Try 'slip roll'
I'll take one of each for my collection.
Back to reality. Thanks for this tour, I'm saving the link for the tools missing in my collection.
Great Video i love the Stores Inventory and their Reasonable Pricing on some of the bigger Items
Thank you very much for the view of the antiques very educational
That place is insane! I used to buy a lot of stuff there when I lived in Ohio
Road trip! Thanks for sharing.
11:10 direct pun incomming, with no pardon! that beeing said, thanks for the looksee, got nothing like this place were i live.
Great store .
I drove semi and had my antique mall stops for tool hunting
What a place reminds me of my grandfathers workshop.
Tons of beautiful tools I wish I could get out there!
How cool. Thanks for sharing…
Saw an interview with the owner displaying an antique toolbox completely outfitted with tools, a dream come true...but man was that thing spendy
I went there with the express purpose of buying that chest. I said I saw it on youtube. He said yeah, it was sold shortly after the video. I bought some hammers and and axe, lol
The 'setter' at 23:40 is a sound post setter for stringed insturments such as violins, violas, and bass.
Indeed, many of the tools on that bench are luthier (instrument builder) based. The tapered reamers for example are likely for tuning peg holes.
I think that setter is for the sound post in a fiddle bass. What you said were forging tongs are farriers hoof trimmers, from the very brief look I got.
Damn. Thanks for sharing. The wife is dragging me to Ohio for a wedding in a few weeks. Maybe I will disappear for a bit.
I've been in there a couple of times. I couple spend most, if not all, of a day lookin around. The owner is really helpful!
My uncle had some old tools like this , I have them now ,
Maybe you would like to have them next ?
@@jimthomas1989 What do you have?
Excelente colección de herramientas de todas las épocas.
Love the video.....OMG,If I knew you were going I would have had my thumb out on the highway LOL,LOL
Nice looking place. I am only 1 hour away from there. I wouldn't mind having one of those small anvils. Looks like nice stuff to use with some of my welding projects. Thanks for the heads up!
That set of small carvers at 9:00 is metal gravers for hand engraving. Have quite a few myself I use.
Excelente vídeo, la caja de herramientas antigua se ve genial no obstante, le faltaron algunas cosas para completarla como un juego de aviones Stanley N°2, 5, 7, y los clásicos Stanley N° 45 y 55. Saludos desde Chile.🙂
Looks amazing!
Hello its my dream to come down from Canada and visited a place like this. I love your walk thou they are very interesting.
An amazing collection
More like a museum than a shop
What a spectacular place! Let me loose in there!
The cute handle at 46:50 is for a hunter's ax. Good Luck, Rick
Neat vid. Kinda disappointed that there weren't more old tinsmith's tools. However, the one thing you didn't really recognize was certainly a roller for sheet metal. It can roll small tubes for flashing pipes. Most old timers used a cone though. It could also roll a really small tight tube for gutter ferrules. Roofers now don't even know what spikes and tubes are, everyone uses one piece concealed hangars.
Like a kid in a sweet shop!
What a glorious place!
My dad used a horse shoe rasp for shaping the frt of a canoe when I was a kid he had a lot of hand tools. But he did trim work back in the 40s when he was still a young man.
I could spend a bunch in there! Nice little store.
My great grandfather had an old tool chest like the one at beginning of video
My father chopped it up for firewood when the the house was sold😮😮😮😢😂
He wasted pounds!!!
Oh no!
The device at 38:42 minutes looks like a gutter beader for sheet metal. It matches the picture in my 1900 tinsmith tool catalog.
I has a whole bunch of Stanley big planes I had gotten over the years.They were just there in old houses I had bought. I gave them and a Stanley 45 plane with blades to our local museum. They have an old tool collection. A complete antique tin shop. Working blacksmiths shop. These places are available to local Historical Society members to work with on premises. Mostly they just get together on WEdnesday night for drinks. They do demonstrations from time to time. Open when the fair is open. They are on the grounds of the fair. I stopped going after a while because too little time was available on my end.We also have a tool place in Liberty Maine. I have bought a few odds and ends there but its stuff tends to look like they cleaned out dads cellar.
15 miles away in Kidron OH is LEHMANNS Amish department store. More than worth your time to visit!
Those are some pretty cool rolling mills on that table!
Wooooow!!! Fantastic!!
The wheel "tape measure" at about 23:00 is for wheelwrights, measuring around the wooden felloes to forge weld the rim at just the right length. I suppose it was used for other tasks as well.
They were used all the time in timber framing.
sun of a biatch, what a store. coupla steps above Fleet and Farm. and I am absolutely clueless what I'd do with any of it. thanks for the great vid
The store is located in Millersburg, which is in Ohio Amish country. There are many cool stores, restaurants and places to see in this area, for example Lehmans in Kidron Ohio. So it could be worth your time to spend at least several days in this area, to make the trek worthwhile. Also there are many stores that would interest your wife or significant other.
James, Dan is a cool guy. Wife and I visited this past October. Love the assortment of tools. Bought a nice #4 Stanley. BTW did he get you to purchase some of his special “Pink Elephant” green coffee for roasting!!
The “setter” is a tool to properly place a sound post in a stringed instrument - violin, viola, cello, and string bass, all of which have a post (looks like a dowel rod) which fits between the top and back of the instrument. It is not glued in. It is slightly longer than the distance between the top and the back so it stays in place by the inward pressure of the two pieces (top and back).
That is correct the strings ride on the bridge and transmit the sound to the top of the violin the sound post transmits it to the back to create a fuller richer and louder sound.
Now I'm drooling...all those TOOLS!
Dang it, now that I know I’ll be not too far from there next weekend, I may have to stop by.
That would have been a treat to take my dad in there he would of loved it :)
Wonderful visit to old tool heaven. However I didn't see a spill plane. A rare bird which makes spills. Those round curled up shavings of wood that you set on fire from your woodstove to light your lamp. I happen upon one in a batch of random antique wooden planes from England.
He usually has a couple of them there. I have a couple videos making them.
amazing place and great video, i saw a sheep clippers like my father used 65 years ago and a diston select in a box like i bought 50 years back, recon i could have spent $1000 on one visit. ohio is a bit fa4 from hcm city though.
Cool. God bless
I love where I live, but I am in a vintage tool desert. Next trip East I'm going to schedule a stop in Ohio.
I know a few people who have planned trips around the map on handToolfinder.com.
Muito legal vosso vídeo, ajuda muito mesmo obrigado, um abraço de Manaus Amazonas Brasil saudações.
That just too kool ! I think i got a little chubby lookin at all those tools !!! Lol
Nice, I'm only 4 hours away! Might have to make it a day trip haha.
Absolutely hate your video! How dare you show us all of these beautiful tools but not how you use them and how beautifully they work! Man I would have been stuck in that shop for days. Thanks for sharing bought back memories of my dad making all sorts for mom and the house. I can still smell the wood shavings and how beautiful it curled with a sharp plane. New to your channel and now a subscriber. 😁
Love it all
Last year I was about 30 miles from this place and did not know it
Who would have more fun in there? Norm Abrams or Jason Voorhees? Either way? two kids in a candy store come to mind.
Just traveled through Ohio….. timing’s everything right? On the list for next time though! Thanks!
Candyland. I need to plan a trip home.
Exciting.
I’ve got pretty much all the hand tools I need, but I would probably still go nuts in there and pick up an armful of nice-to-haves. A few points:
I expected to see a ton of clamps in this store - did you miss a whole room, or is demand so high that they don’t have any stock?
Those Stanley No. 18 bevel gauges have become really expensive in Europe - people seem to like them a lot, but they’re hard to find over here. Someone should ship over a big box of them, there’s a gap in the market.
The prices for the bench planes sound very fair to me: you’re not just paying a finder’s fee, but also the peace of mind that they’ve been looked over by someone who knows what they’re doing. I’ve bought most pof my planes from a vintage tool shop and I really appreciate the professional restoration.
Ulmia is a German manufacturer that still makes a high quality mitre hand saw: they start at a whopping 500 Euros. You can pick them up used for around 100 Euros - I’m always tempted, but then I tell myself I should freehand it and use the shooting board.
The tool chest is obviously beautiful, but wow - 5000 is a generous bid, considering the contents. Someone has really fallen in love with that thing.
Clamps are actually kind of a new thing to have a lot of in workshop. If you start looking at inventories from shops over 100 years ago, they may list four or five clamps total.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Yes, but that’s only because the neighbours borrowed them all the time 🙂
The prices seem really reasonable. I'd like to visit, but we don't have too many reasons to make it to that part of the country.
I definitely need to stay out of that store 😂😂😂
I have enough tools but I don’t think I could resist 😂😂😂
This a great and unique store overthere. Not to be found in Germany. Best wishes from Germany.
I am drooling lol. I'd love to get a good set of adventures tools and gouges. But even on the older tools, sometimes the metal is crap. I have an old spoke shave that I just can't sharpen. The blade steel is junk.
Excelente video, me encantaría que en mi país tuviéramos un tienda , como esa , yo e buscado por mas de 15 años un cepillo # 8 , y no lo e podido encontrar , en las ferreterías no Venden partes para los cepillos de carpintería , saludos desde Costa Rica.
Very nice to see all those tools great resource
Sorry for the book, but I have to chime in. I have been going here for years. It used to be in an old building in downtown Millersburg. I haven't watched this whole video, so apologies if it has already been mentioned. I think some tips might be in order.
1. Bring CASH. They do NOT take credit cards. It's a blessing and a curse. A blessing because I would have maxed out my card in this place. A curse because sometimes you see something and didn't bring enough cash!
2. Be prepared for sticker shock. It is pricey, however, just about everything you could possibly be hunting for is there. So you either hunt for months for various tools spending your time and gas driving around hunting, or you can just go here and save the time and gas money and pay a premium.
3. Some people have left reviews calling Daniel - the owner - rude and arrogant. I actually really like him. He has been incredibly helpful over the years and will give you his very honest opinion. I greatly appreciate that and he's really a walking encyclopedia of knowledge.
I liked the old location better. It was in an old brick building with creaky wooden floors and you felt like you stepped back in time. The whole vibe just got you wanting to get working with handtools. The new location has more of a colder flea market feel to it, although it looks like he has been dressing up the place a bit. The advantage is that he has a lot more space and can put his entire inventory out there - which is a major plus.
Because of the prices (and the fact that I love 'the hunt') I tend to drive to lots of out of the way places to obtain my tools. The prices are lower and it's the experince of hunting for things I enjoy. However, when I want a particular tool that I haven't been able to find, I go here. He jokes about how easy it is to sell me something. I showed up with $300 and managed to spend it all. Another time I figured I would be smart and bring $500. LOL, I think I walked out with $10 left. I mean, I was trying to build up a complete set of concave and convex moulding planes figuring I would by a few here and there - he had a complete set. I say 'had' because now I have a complete set. :)
When I first started wood working, I had gone here and he gave me the very first and most helpful tip telling me the first and most important thing is to learn how to sharpen your tools. He got me started on the right foot and sharpening has been the most valuable tip. Over the years when I go down there and we chat, I'd bring up something I am not that good at and need to improve and he was quick to give me pointers. I learned more in these 1 minute conversations than in watching videos. Daniel is VERY helpful. He also does wood-working classes but the drive is too far for me - about an hour and a half.
Honestly, I love this place and highly recommend it.
Reminds me of my shop...lol.
Checking set.
heavon on earth right there
