My last day tomorrow. Any stores of particular interest in the area
assessible by the tube or bus? Also, any craft markets with
artist/craftsman items by woodworkers/metalsmith/textile, that sort of
thing. I'm in the Paddingdon area. Thanks.

On my web site is a list of UK old and some new tool suppliers, including
some in London.

Please look under UK Old and New Tool Dealers.

Thanks, made it to Buck and Myers. WOW at the current exchange rate
couldn't justify buying a tool momento of the trip but enjoyed the look
around.

My SIL's retired father worked in Sheffield, including the Record factory,
for 40 years as a grinder. AAMOF, I came back from there last year with a
good many, and kindly presented, hand tools from a different era .. all
cherished and put to immediate good use. He works out of a shed that makes
my small 18 x 18 shop look like Tom Plaman's new one by comparison, but damn
are his tools sharp!

If I remember correctly shipping tools back here will obviate paying VAT
[that applies to all items] . The VAT in the UK is about 17% I think ...mjh
