Hand Tool Makers List

From WoodworkersZone WoodWiki

This is a list that was compiled by Dave Schwarzkopf and he was kind enough to give me permission to list it here in the Wiki for longer retention and editability.

The list is divided by tool type, and of course, there are some makers that are listed under multiple headings. The makers are not in any particular order, and links are provided, when available.

Feel free to add and edit this list as more makers are identified.

Without further ado;
