Registry of Maine Toolmakers, 5E

Edited by H.G. Brack, Davistown Museum

The Registry of Maine Toolmakers is an ongoing documentation of the toolmakers of Maine’s maritime era, 1607 to 1900. Its focus is the edge toolmakers and planemakers who supplied the tools for Maine’s ship carpenters and timber harvesters, including blacksmiths who specialized in toolmaking. The registry also includes listings of known toolmakers for other trades, including coopers, carriagemakers, cobblers and farmers.

 

Registry entries contain the name of the craftsman, the town where he worked, the time period during which he was active and, where available, birth and death dates. Additional information about any particular craftsman is contained in a Remarks entry. The registry is preceded by a short section on the history of toolmaking and ship building in Maine.
