At last! We have a shop!
A beautiful shop in beautiful Dorchester.
Like Eden planted between the Tigris and Euphrates (but tucked up an alleyway between South Street and Trinity Street) this is something that we can only describe as paradise.
Stacked with vintage tools for all tasks and tastes, rare, collectible, useful and economical. Old tools for the hobbyist or professional. We have lots of good quality gorgeous tools from an era when they were built to last, to give long, accurate and delightful service.
A friendly, welcoming place where you are welcome to browse or buy. Come in and see us. We are open 9 to 5 Monday to Saturday. Knowledgeable and friendly staff await.
New stock arriving all of the time. Check our listings online or better still come in and visit us in person in Dorchester. Tools for wood and metal, leather and lead.
See our saws, beat a path to our hammers, chop chop to the axes and drift among our planes - where the cutting edge is a vintage time.
Call us on 01300 348863 or email us at shop@vintagetoolshop.com with your enquiries and we will get back to you.
