Handmade in Northern Ireland

I am like a magpie when it comes to buying new tools for my workshop. I am particularly excited about this new Bookbinding tool which has just arrived. I have had made for me and is my first brand new finishing tool as all my other tools have been either given, bought in auction or purchased second hand. Brass bookbinding tools are made to last the tests of time and I would love to know the history of the tools which I have built up in my collection.

Can you guess what I’m going to do with my new tool? New books coming soon with maybe a bit of added Irish flare ;)
