We started building Craftsman Studio in the likeness of an old neighborhood hardware store - on the web - where you can find quality woodworking tools and obtain knowledgeable advice. Three principles guide our business - absolute integrity in all dealings, providing superior customer service and good value for your money. As woodworkers ourselves, we select high quality tools which are well designed because we understand the importance of properly made tools in producing fine work. Before offering a product for sale, we carefully examine and test it in our shop to ensure it not only looks good but performs well.
Services
Sharp tools are essential for every woodworker. Our sharpening supplies gives you the ability to put razor sharp edges on your plane blades and chisels. We carry the best Sharpening Stones and Sharpening accessories from the best manufactures. Have a question on sharpening? Give us a call and we can help you choose the right product.
Hock Tools is a small metalworking cottage industry located in the middle of Mendocino's renowned woodworking enclave. If you need to replace plane irons, Hock plane irons are best we have found. Ron Hock starting out making knives in 1981. It wasn't long before the staff and students at James Krenov's Fine Woodworking Program at the College of the Redwoods in Fort Bragg convinced Ron to retool to make plane irons for them.

Very good small store, once i walked in and looked around i knew i would be leaving with something. The prices are spot on especially on tools from custom makers like Bearkat and Jeff Hamilton. The place also has planes you can test and hock blades. Over all i had a great experience and would recommend to anyone in the area or driving through.

Bought a couple hundred dollars worth of tools from Bill a while ago. He shipped fast. One of the chisels in the purchase was ground poorly and it was lobsided. It was a 20 something dollar chisel. When I noticed it and contacted customer service, Bill told me that I could send it back for a replacement and would have to pay shipping both ways. He claimed it was a cheap chisel and it was normal.
He advised me to spend more on chisels if I didn't like the ones I bought when I told him it wasn't normal. Lee Valley is the way to go. Years of great customer service from them.

After an absolutely HORRIBLE customer service experience with Garrett Wade, I found Craftsman Studio. I've since placed two orders with them and had a great experience. Both items were shipped out the next business day and arrived two days later via Priority Mail. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Craftsman Studio to anyone. Thanks!

Scott is awesome! If you are able to go to the storefront, it's fantastic being able to actually try out many of the tools. I'm a hobbyist and he was very patient with me, going over all the pros and cons between the tools so I was able to get what I really needed. I am excited to continue increasing my skills so I can justify getting more high quality tools from him.

Bill, the proprietor, is very knowledgeable about woodworking tools, techniques and solutions. He is dedicated to provide a much needed environment where hand tools can be inspected, tried and experienced prior to purchasing. I value this very much as most woodworking hand tools are 'once in a lifetime' buys and I hate to have to buy something to then find out it doesn't fit or do what I expected. Bill is sincere in wanting me to find what I want/need as much or more than he wants a sale. I've been a patron since he opened his store and have never regretted it.
