Friday Finds
Welcome to Friday Finds!
The sale of pre-owned quality woodworking hand tools, sharpening stuff, books & accessories.
Here you can find pre-owned woodworking tools, books or supplies that may be "as new", second hand, surplus stock or stuff we just need to move along including vintage woodworking hand tools. We will be adding a selection of tools each Friday lunchtime for the foreseable future.
Our descriptions are accurate and we do not embellish the condition of the tools on offer.
Thinking of selling your quality hand tools? - we can either buy them from you (see below) or handle the sale of your best hand tools on a commission basis. Usually these tools are sold without the requirement to pay VAT in the UK (unless our client is VAT registered which is unlikely). Note - usually the minimum sale value for commission sales is over £200.
Individual tools such as planes or sets of chisels usually sell well and because we are selling high quality new hand tools to a wide customer base we tend to attract better prices than the auction route. Further information on Commission Sales here
Once sold, we deal with the shipping of the item which can be worldwide. Payment is made when all items consigned are sold and the buyers have had the requisite period of grace under distance selling regulations (nominally 2 weeks).
If you're interested in selling your preowned tools through Classic Hand Tools, please email us at sales@classichandtools.com with pictures and a description of the tools.
If you would like to see past sales of pre-owned tools, perhaps to get an idea of what your tools might be worth, visit our Friday Finds Sold Archive.
Occassionally we buy good quality pre-owned woodworking tools from private individuals. These hand tools are usually manufactured by respected brands including Lie-Nielsen, Blue Spruce, Veritas, Clifton, Norris, Ward, Sorby, Colen Clenton and many more.
If you are thinning out your tool collection and do not wish to use the commsssion sale route we may be interested to purchase some or all of your unwanted tools..
Please send in a few pictures for an initial appraisal to sales@classichandtools.com
Classic Hand Tools can pick up the tools (by courier), evaluate an agreed selling price after detailed inspection.
Please give us a call first to discuss before making the trip to visit us. 01473 784983
