Ahoy, mates!

There's a new distributor in the U.S. for Small Shop precision tooling, (Hold-n-Fold, The Nutter, etc.), Free Time Hobbies located in the heart of downtown Americus Georgia...I've noted many modelers of late having a tough time locating these tools on our side of the pond, so here ya go, mates!

Free Time Hobbies

If you have comments or questions please post them here.

Thanks!

Very good!

Americus Georgia...

I might just have to make a trip and talk with these folks, while I am there I can stop by Andersonville and see the sights there as well.

Their pe benders seem a bit high priced, does anyone have one of their benders that could give us a run down on it?

Pricey a bit, Frank, yes, but well worth it...I sell precision tooling for a living, and quality speaks LOUDLY in this area of the hobby...I've had a Hold-n-Fold in my toolbox for quite a long time, and the folding edges are still as hard and crisp as new...........so basically, the old adage of "ya git what ya pay fer' " follows in this area as well.

I had the pleasure of speaking for a time with Alasdair Johnson, from Small Shop history, and he demonstrated all of the company's tooling products at AMPS 2006, and I was quite impressed at all of the quality and versatility of their line........but I still favor my Ausfwerks Fenderbender (soon a collectors item) for most of my larger ship-building PE work...
