I really appreciate the overwhelming response I received from my tool offerings. Thank you all so much for your interest and support. It really means a lot to me personally.

As I said when I started accepting orders for tools 2 months ago, I have no intention of making tools full time. I am first and foremost a period cabinetmaker. I feel doing the work has informed my sensibilities regarding tools and I have no doubt that will continue.

I'm not sure what the future holds for me. I'm hoping to produce tools on speculation and sell them as they become available. This will allow me greater design freedom and perhaps the ability to use whatever materials I have on hand at the moment. I'm not exactly sure how this will work. But I'll post information here and at AdamCherubini.com.

Current customers whose orders have not shipped may be permitted to increase their order. As I think of it, if your order has already shipped, I can probably be persuaded to make additional tools to complete a set. As a woodworker first, merchant second, I sympathize with the deep desire to have complete matching sets of tools! I love matching sets of tools.

P.S. Maybe I need to say clearly- I'm not going "out of business", I'm not broke. I'm working hard on filling the orders I have at present and will continue to do so happily. But I'm also continuing to build furniture, write magazine articles, and prepare for some really awesome public appearances including the Woodworking in America conference. Being able to meet my commitments in the uncompromising way to which I'm accustomed means I have turn off the tool making at present.
