About Heritage Tools Archive

I’ve worked with my hands my whole life — with stone, wood, metal, and clay. As a stonemason, as a sculptor, as an artist, as someone who believes that tools carry more than function. They carry history, knowledge, and the hands of everyone who used them before you.

Heritage Tools Archive is my attempt to preserve that.

Each illustration documents a historic hand tool — its form, its purpose, its place in the history of craft. Drawn by hand, researched carefully, collected systematically.

The archive is organized by material world and volume. Volume 01 covers Woodcraft. More volumes will follow.
