Antique & Vintage Woodworking Tools

Below is a selection of the vintage tools and antique woodworking tools we currently have in stock, divided into separate tool categories for your convenience. All of these old tools can be purchased via our online shop or viewed in person at our Tool Bazaar store in Perth, Scotland

Why use vintage tools?

You may be wondering why old tools and antique tools are still relevant for modern woodworking or metalwork projects. The answer is simple—many vintage tools offer a level of craftsmanship, durability, and precision that modern hand tools simply can’t match.

You may already own a few old tools and are looking to add to your antique toolbox collection. Many collectors find that vintage tools are not just functional but also fascinating objects to own and display. They make excellent conversation pieces, especially when sharing the history of hand tools with younger generations.

Another advantage of antique tools is how well they work together. If you have old tools with missing parts, such as vintage planes, moulders, auger bits, or blades, Tool Bazaar likely has the missing piece you need. Restoring a well-made wooden smoothing plane or a classic Stanley plane is often far more rewarding than purchasing a new mass-produced alternative. Browse our shop to find that missing part and bring your antique tools back to full working order.

Some antique tools have fallen out of mainstream use, but that doesn’t mean they’ve lost their value. When working on older furniture or intricate woodworking projects, using the same hand tools that were originally used to craft the piece can yield the best results.

Whether you're looking for a finely tuned vintage plane, a wooden smoothing plane, or a robust Stanley plane, Tool Bazaar offers a diverse selection of antique tools to suit your needs.
