The collection below is of a dedicated tool collector
who loves his tools. Gene “The Tool Man” has been collecting hammers, planes, saws,
any
other old tool you can think of for many years. He is a proud member of several of the fine tool clubs. Gene has dedicated
most of
his life to his tools
and loves to share information on each of them. Gene has the education
of an Industrial Engineer, Tool maker, and also owned his own machine shop. Let me tell you he loved tools so
much he shared his knowledge as a teacher for a major University machine shop school. He proudly displays
all his tools in what I call Gene's Tool Museum. Every item is museum quality and every tool deserves its own
page and description in a book. Gene collected most tools by attending antique tool shows and flea markets. One of his pride and joys is a Stanley number 1 which he proudly
displays.
