Welcome. My name is Tom Fidgen and I'm a craftman living in Toronto, Ontario. I build custom furniture using 'only hand tools'. Please feel free to contact me regarding anything you see or read here. I’m always interested in discussing a custom design, furniture application or anything else wood working or hand tool related at any time. For custom work or private commissions , once we make some progress about a design, I’ll make a materials list and some rough drawings at which time a price can be determined. I quote jobs simply on material costs and time. Once a price is agreed on, a fifty-percent deposit is required to secure a place in my schedule, purchase materials and initiate the final design. Thank you

TOOL STORAGE UPDATE

"Well, I've never been a religious man, but it seems as though I've been building an Altar lately..."

The Tool Chest from a few weeks back has found a great home for itself on the floor in front of my full size Tool Cabinet. Funny how it fit so nice there? Coincidence?
Tool storage is something every wood worker should consider; it's a great way to practice a new set of skills or maybe trying out a new design idea. My scrap wood and off-cut pile is getting smaller...Next items are a traditional Saw Till that should nest perfectly on top of the Tool cabinet and after that, a Shaker style Plinth for the Tool Chest to stand in. It'll have two more drawers in the bottom for extra tool storage. Always thinking ahead you know...
Cheers!

Every woodworker should build an alter to the tools that gives him as much pleasure as the work its self Me I am building two 2 tool chest for my grandsons who are 1 and 4. I hope to leave them a full kit before I leave this earth, along with some tools that I have made just for them. I still believe if I teach them to fish they will never go hungry
