222 forum posts 7 photos	Inspired by a picture in todays newspaper, I spent some time browsing the web site of the Vintage Tool Shop at Stalbridge in Dorset. Very interesting, but I think the value of the contents of my workshop has increased by a factor of X10 if I apply their prices. John

The man is a workaholic, never stops! He is a seriously talented luthier and turns out some simply stunning work using mainly hand tools. The workshop is kitted out with every tool known to man and he runs luthier courses very successfully. I think that I may well have made a rod for my own back as I think I got him started with selling tools We used to compete at a local "invitation only" tool buying event but it all got a bit silly so I stopped going. As for the prices, what can I say, go figure! Certainly makes our stuff look cheap! Cheers, Martin
