Here is the book that finally unlocks the secrets that professional restorers have been using for years. It explains critical (and previously closely-held) restoration techniques in a way that even the most uninitiated can understand and follow, giving the reader confidence throughout and making the art of restoration not only extremely remunerative for the collector, but satisfying and fun as well. There are chapters covering all the categories of tools, as well as a general chapter on cleaning and refinishing. The author explains how to make a bow for a bow drill, how to tighten loose heads on Sheffield and Ultimatum braces, how to make wedges for planes, how to replace vials in levels, how to repair chipped or missing threads on a plow plane, and literally hundreds of other such invaluable instructions.

A beginners guide for identification and valuation of vintage Stanley tools. This guide is based on the Stanley Catalogue No 120 from 1923. We chose it because it was the first major catalogue of the combined Stanley Works. It was tempting to reproduce the catalogue without additions but that has been done before. We decided to reduce the size of the original line art pictures in favor of color illustrations, values and additional product information. The result therefore isn't a true re-print of the original catalogue but rather an enhanced reproduction that will assist budding Stanley collectors with identification and valuation of Stanley tools. We did not set out to compile a complete list of Stanley tools but rather give you a snapshot of the Stanley range available at the time the Sweetheart catalogues were issued.
