I wonder who from Williamsburg in the 70s would fly to England and go flea marketing to find saws, rules, etc for the Trades in the historic area? It’s an interesting thought experiment to ponder that...

I don’t own any tools made by them, but I asked George quite a few years back about a Wilson and Laubach dovetail saw. A bit pricey, as I recall. I wanted one, but I didn’t follow through on it. Proba...
