Good tools last a lifetime, or to be more accurate they should last more than a lifetime and it isn't uncommon to see hand tools that are a hundred years old or more still in use today. For the enthusiast and collector it is an affordable hobby as many smaller tools can be picked up for just a few pounds each, often requiring only light renovation to give them years more life of service. Many tools for which there is little requirement still make decorative pieces for the collector, each tool's aged patina telling a unique story. Some types of tools will still be required for everyday use in the cabinet maker or joimer's shop. Some may only be needed by the woodland and greenwood worker whilst some will still be found in most modern houses. Often, the craftsperson prefers a tool that predates them, perhaps having sentimental value.
