I have collected woodworking tools for over 30 years and am always on the lookout for yard sales, lawn sales, and any person who can direct to old tools. In my travel through Amenia, NY as a salesman, I drove by a home with assorted items in the driveway and a small sign stating “Garage Sale”. Quickly turning around, I pulled in the drive and found the homeowner, an elderly gentleman in a wheelchair talking to several people about his items for sale. Looking over a collection of boxes, I saw nothing of promise in the way of tools. The homeowner came wheeling over and asked what I was looking for. Any collector worth his salt has a short list of tools he or she is searching for and I was looking for a Coachmaker’s traveler for measuring the circumference of wagon and carriage wheels for the iron band.
