Jeff first started this site when woodworking groups could only use ASCII code to construct drawings but it was extended to re-use material already published (and paid for) that otherwise would be sitting on his hard drive and doing nothing very useful.

On his death in 2019 a number ofOldTools Mailing Listmembers requested that the site be maintained for the content and in his memory (seeFAQ #30 'Who is this "Jeff" guy?'). It has now been ported over from the original site atwww.amgron.clara.netand is being hosted by Hillwalk Ltd in appreciation of him standing in as company secretary from 1997 to 2000.

In the original introduction Jeff apologised for the variable drawing quality as these were his original drawings and were prepared for re-working by an illustrator and he hoped that the quality of information compensated for the primitive site design.
