As I have copies of all these, let me know if the resource disappears so I can make a copy available.

If you have an old (pre-1930s) catalog or book on tools or woodworking let me know. I enjoy making these resources available on the internet. I would love to borrow your copy or will considers trades and purchases. If you would like a physical copy I may also be interested in selling some. Contact me for details.
