    "A BIT ABOUT ME"
    HI, MY NAME IS CHRIS AND I AM AN OLD SCHOOL CABINETMAKER. I COME FROM A LONG LINE OF CABINETMAKERS AND CARPENTERS AND WAS TAUGHT FROM A VERY YOUNG AGE HOW TO USE AND MAINTAIN HAND TOOLS. I HAD SUCH A FASCINATION WITH TOOLS THAT I WAS NICKNAMED "TOPHER TOOL GUY" BY MY FAMILY. I HAVE MANY FOND MEMORIES OF TIMES WITH DAD IN THE SHOP. HE TAUGHT ME MANY VALUABLE THINGS ABOUT WOODWORKING, TOOLS, AND LIFE IN GENERAL. NOW THAT I'M RETIRED I WANT TO SHARE SOME OF THOSE THINGS WITH YOU.
    MY LOVE FOR OLD TOOLS HAS LED ME HERE, RESTORING AND SELLING VINTAGE HAND TOOLD HERE ON EBAY. THERE IS NOT MUCH THAT IS MORE REWARDING TO ME THAN FINDING AN OLD TOOL THAT HAS BEEN NEGLECTED AND GIVING IT A NEW LIFE! ALL MY RESTORATIONS AND DONE BY HAND IN THE OLD SCHOOL MANOR USING TRADITIONAL HAND TOOLS ONLY. MY FIRST PRIORITY IS TO BRING THE TOOL BACK TO THE HIGHEST USEFUL STATE POSSIBLE. SECONDLY AND JUST AS IMPORTANTLY, I MAKE IT A POINT TO PRESERVE THE TOOL'S VINTAGE PATINA THAT IN SOME CASES HAS TAKEN IT OVER 100YEARS TO AQUIRE. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A TOOL THAT HAS HAD ITS CHARACTER STRIPPED AWAY IN AN ATTEMPT TO  MAKE IT LOOK NEW, THEN I'M NOT YOU GUY. THERE ARE MANY OF THOSE TYPE OF SELLERS OUT THERE TO CHOOSE FROM. WHAT YOU WILL GET FROM ME IS A TOOL OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY RESTORED TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY! I STAND BEHIND MY RESTORATIONS. IF YOU ARE NOT 100% SATISFIED I WILL GLADLY GIVE YOU A FULL REFUND INCLUDING ORIGINAL SHIPPING COSTS. "NO QUESTIONS ASKED". GIVE TOPHER TOOL GUY A TRY! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!
