From its inception in 1997 as a simple backyard sale focusing mainly on woodworking tools, this quirky grass roots effort has evolved into the largest old tool sale in Texas and, as rumor has it, the surrounding states as well. Thanks in large part to word of mouth, hundreds of folks pass through the gate twice a year to find what is often referred to as "an old tool museum". Tool collectors, woodworkers, metalworkers, machinists, handymen, hobbyists, designers, and nostagia buffs will appreciate this opportunity and most certainly will come away with some tool related treasure for their workshop or personal stash. An excellent selection of back issue woodworking magazines and books will be on hand, and as always plenty of the unusual and just plain weird stuff you haven't seen in years.
