OldTools is a mailing list catering to the interests of old hand tool aficionados, both collectors and users. The list's charter states:
The purpose of this list is to provide an entertaining, not-quite-moderated, light-hearted, fun, jolly, happy, informative forum to discuss the history, usage, value, location, availability, collectibility, and restoration of traditional woodworking tools. The emphasis is on muscle-powered tools and techniques, though water-powered machinery (whether steam, or mill pond) is more than welcome.
OldTools is a very casual place-- The popular image is that of a back porch get-together. People come and go, swap stories, ask questions of the "old-timers", and just generally engage in polite discussion of the old tool topics of the day.
