The one in the photo was made by Tom Lipton and we used to sell them but when we quit selling them Tom quit making them.
Joe at Hoosier made some a few years back and, as mentioned, Mr. C makes them now.

Many simple hand tools can be made. Lots of people make pear shaped mallets from old baseball bats. I make Dolly's from old fork lift forks. A piece of railway track is most useful. A flipper (slapper) can be made from an old leaf spring. Chasing or caulking tools can be made from hardwood or from bolster (brick chisel). There are many many hand tools that can be made very simply- you dont have to invest much money to get started.

One thing that has not bin shown on this thread yet is tools for deburring material after it is cut.
Valance 001.jpg The one on the left is store bought and can some times be purchased at your local hardware store. The two in the middle can be bought through a machine shop supply house or can be made from old three cornered files. The drill is used to deburr holes for pop rivets where you cant get a drill motor. Burring material after it is cut will both keep you from a nasty slice and allow for matching up pieces with magnets. I'm sure there are other tools used for this purpose. Maybe someone else will show you what they use.

Thanks
Great thread!! Out here in the high country we really don't have a lot of hardwood stumps. Has anyone seen or used something like a butcher block setup where you would just replace the top with different shapes that you could store under the cart?
