I used to have a bad habit of carrying trowels around with me when I was gardening and leaving them where I was working. I often forgot where they were and when I needed them again, I’d have to walk around the garden looking for them, trying to remember when I had used them last. As much as I tried to always put them back in the garage, I just couldn’t seem to remember. I love my trowels and thus never want to lose them. Not to mention a good garden trowel is not a cheap purchase.
A few months ago I decided to put a bucket by the back to keep my trowels and my cultivator in. After doing this I’ve been able to keep track of them. I find myself carrying my trowels back to the house with me and throwing them into the bucket. This has worked well for me and I have only had to look for my trowel once or twice since I started doing this. I also like that they’re right there when I walk out the back door. I no longer have to open the garage door and head into the garage to get my tools, I simply grab the one I need from the bucket and head out into the garden.
If you're in the market for good quality small garden tools I would highly recommend The Rumford Gardener large trowel, transplanting trowel, and the cultivator. I purchased them many many years ago at Target, but they are now available on Amazon. They're solid die cast aluminum and they're cast in one solid piece with a rubberized handle coating. They're tough as nails and strong as an ox yet light enough to use for a long period of time. In my rocky tough soil they keep on going where a lesser trowel would have been bent long long ago. I also find them quite comfortable to use.

The top, bottom and corner posts are Padauk wood, while the side panels I have forgotten the type. All the dovetails are handcut. I would mark off the pins with a 1:6 guide I made. Used a small Dozuki saw and then chiseled out the waste. Lined up the panel with where the tails would go and transfered. Again, cut and chisel. Repeat 7 more times for the complete box as one piece. Then mortise the corners to fit and glue. Once done, I used the table saw to cut the lid from the body and started finishing.

Kenneth Roberts' Wooden Planes in 19th Century America. Vol 1 - Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire - 1978 Second Edition
The cover design and the book page layout is by Jane W. Roberts. I like her choice of typeface on the cover !
The half moon like shape at the top of this picture is a Scotland made circular croze plane for barrel making from the 1840's.
The curvy wooden artifact at the bottom of the picture is a top-grade-antique's barrel plane -or sun plane- made by the brothers Leonard and Ichabod Jewett White in Buffalo, NY in 1837.
Chapters in the book includes:
New England Planes of the 18th Century,
Historical Survey of 19th Century Planemaking,
The Demise of the Wooden Plane, and Classification and Identification of Wooden Planes.

Check List of 19th Century American and Canadian Makers or Firms
(also Great Britain makers of planes imported or brought to United States and Canada during 19th Century).
From the dj's flaps: "Wooden Planes in 19th Century America is the culmination of 25 years of collecting and 10 years of research. This is the first definitive study of American planes of the 19th century covering all known U.S. and Canadian makers and dealers. A comprehensive checklist of these firms (over 600), plus a chapter on 18th century antecedents of the planemaking craft puts the topic in historical perspective."

This is my workbench area in the shop. The workbench is in a spot that's easy to pull it into the middle of the room so I can work around a project. My clamps are located nearby, as are my handtools.
MARPLES M6 Fore Plane, STANLEY 4 1/2 Smoother, and a GUYS HANDTOOLS LTD Block Plane.
The Practical Carpenter and Joiner Illustrated, Edited by N. W. Kay and published by Odhams in the 1940s - Charles H. Hayward contributed a chapter on Hand Tools.
Planes:
To make a broad division there are two kinds of planes : those for carrying out such normal operations as reducing a thickness or smoothing a surface, known as bench planes ; and those for such work as rebating, grooving and moulding.
Bench Planes. Although some craftsmen still use wooden planes, the majority agree that the metal plane is the superior tool. Its ease of adjustment, low position of handle (giving better control), fine mouth and suitabillity for end grain planing are advantages which most men recognise. Since there may be a certain amount of rough planing to be done, it is advisable to include a wooden jack plane in the kit. A plane with a 2 3/8 inch cutter is a useful size.
Of the metal planes the Stanley or the Record are the commonest in use. Two are needed, a fore or jointing plane and a smoothing plane. The choice of the former depends mainly upon the class of work usually done. The fore plane of 18 inch length is the handier all-round tool, since quite long joints can be planed with it and it is not cumbersome. On the other hand for really large work, the longer jointing plane, 22 inch or 24 inch, gives greater accuracy. For the smoothing plane select the plane with 2 3/8 inch cutter. For small work such as trimming small mitres a block plane is useful. A 6 or 7 inch size is suitable ; all these planes are shown in Fig. 10.

Advanced Three-Plane Set:
This is a good starter set for a woodworker who wants to really enjoy what hand planes can do.
Each plane has a specialized purpose. The low angle block plane excels at cutting end grain; the leveling plane (which can be either a No. 6 or a No. 7) joints edges and flattens a large surface; the smoothing plane (either a No. 4 or a No. 4-1/2) can make wood look so good that it hardly needs a finish.

High Street, is also part of part of Watling Street.
Watling Street is the name given to an ancient trackway in England and Wales that was first used by the Celts mainly between the modern cities of Canterbury and St Albans. The Romans later paved the route, part of which is identified on the Antonine Itinerary as Iter III: "Item a Londinio ad portum Dubris" - from London to the port of Dover. The name derives from the Anglo-Saxon Wæcelinga Stræt, which has come to be understood as the A2 road from Dover to London, and then the A5 road from London to Wroxeter. Originally the word "street" simply meant a paved road (Latin: "via strata"), and did not have the modern association with populated areas. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watling_Street
the Roman road from London to Kent coast. Countless travellers have passed this way since Roman times, because it remained the main highway to the Continent until the 20th Century. The High Street formed part of the A2 trunk route up to 1980.
Rochester was an important centre even before the Romans settled here soon after 43A.D. Their encampment developed into a walled town called Durobrivae, which means 'The stronghold by the bridge.' Long stretches of the remaining medieval city wall follow the line of these earliest Roman defences. One part visible from the High Street has survived to its full height, complete with battlements, because it once formed part of the 19th century building - now demolished - which housed Sir Joseph Williamson's Mathematical School.

I wasn't sure this could be called a hand tool, but according to Wikipedia: A hand tool is any tool that is powered by hand rather than a motor.[1]
This little gadget is so easy to use and does such a great job. No electricity required since I provide the energy to make it work.
