THE WINCHESTER COLLECTION

CMT’s Living Tools Project is pleased to offer up our latest tool giveaway, The Winchester Collection. 

This kit is an excellent chance for a variety of craftspeople, whether they hew toward chairs or flat work. It’s full of time-tested user-grade tools, cornerstones of any shop. What’s more, many foundational tools appear in multiples: handplanes, bit braces, saws, chisels, drawknives (with sheaths!), and more. These multiples make The Winchester Collection a boon for teachers looking for student tools or solo makers looking to round out their toolbox. 

The Winchester Collection’s generous donor has asked to remain anonymous, but their extensive set of tools speaks for itself. And nothing could mute our thrill at the opportunity to pass along another high-quality kit to a well-deserving maker.
