The following is a list of sites that may be of interest to the woodworker. I have no relationship (other than as a customer) to the sales sites. I am a member of the NWCA, the National Wood Carver's Association, and of the TWCG, the Texas Woodcarvers' Guild.
National Wood Carver's Association has an online presence at this site, and publishes a bi-monthly newsletter, Chip Chats. I recommend membership to anyone with an interest in carving.
The Texas Wood Carver's Guild publishes its bi-monthly newsletter here. It is an excellent organization that sponsors two main events: the Spring Roundup and the Texas Artistry in Wood Show and Sale. They occur annually in April and September and are held in Fredericksburg, Texas. Each event features a week of carving classes at reasonable prices, and the fall show finishes with a juried show and sale of members' works.
The British Woodcarvers' Association site may provide some information that is of interest. They are often featured in a bi-monthly publication put out by GMC Publications, Inc. (The Guild of Master Craftsmen), called Woodcarving which is a good source of ideas and technical advice. GMC also publishes other journals relating to furniture making, wood turning and general woodwork that are worth a look.
The Electronic Neanderthal is a clearinghouse for links to information and sources of tools on the net. It is a very good site, and if you pick just one link to follow from my page, this is the one I would suggest.
Tony Muirland has an international tool auction that is a great source of quality antique British woodworking tools. He also has several smaller auctions throughout the year, but the catalogs do not have many illustrations, so it's best to be there to bid. His site lists many of the tools he has for sale currently, and is worth a visit. I purchased some dovetailed steel infill planes from him last year and was very well satisfied with the product, the price and the service.
David Stanley is another British auctioneer of fine antique tools, and likewise conducts international tool auctions. I have purchased several items through him, including a half set of skew blade hollows and rounds last year, and have been very satisfied with the transactions.
The Japan Woodworker in Alameda, California, sells primarily Japanese tools, though he also stocks some high quality American tools. Having purchased several of Master Blacksmith Mr. Matsamura's chisels from them, I can attest to the benefits of Japanese laminated steel. They not only take a sharper edge than any I have been able to attain with British, German, Austrian or American chisels, they hold their edge better. If you get any, though, I suggest you read some of Toshio Odate's book on the care and use of Japanese tools regarding "seasoning" of the chisels. My first chisel chipped almost immediately, but I read and followed his instructions and have not had any problems since. They are a joy to use.
Larry and Faye Brusso make some of the finest quality hinges and cabinet hardware available. While they don't have a website that I know of, if you search on their name, several sellers will come up. Their precision hinges are all I use on my jewelry boxes, humidors, and other high quality pieces. Pricing is a bit high to use them on everything, say $15-$20 for a small set of hinges, and I fall back on Ives hinges for things like my curios, which I'm trying to keep at a fairly low price. They also make hinges in sterling silver for a bit of a difference if you need it.
Ian Norbury is also a well known British carver, famous for stop action carvings which are very realistic. His site has an impressive gallery and is worth a visit.
