FAQ

1. Why is your logo a router plane?, 
– The logo represents our first tool and is the reason Tees Valley Tool Works came into being in the first place. From this acorn we hope many other tools will grow.

2. What other tools do you plan to make?
– When we have established making the 1399p we intend to make an new version of the Edward Preston 1397 which is a medium sized router plane. We also have plans for a small brass dovetailing hammer. If you have any suggestions please register with us.

3. What will the 1399P be made from?
– The main part of the tool is a high quality ductile iron casting made here in the UK, the loose parts are mild steel or brass and the wooden handles are made from sustainably grown hardwood, the prototype handles are made of Beech.

4. When can we buy the tools?
-Personal circumstances following the pandemic has seriously delayed my project. This combined with increases in costs is forcing me to work elsewhere for now slowing things down further. I have not given up but its very slow progress.
