About Us

TTTG is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the study, conservation, collection, and use of craftsmens' tools of all kinds. To support this object the organisation promotes the preservation of traditional tools and skills, and the dissemination of knowledge about Australian toolmaking history and the use of tools across all industries.

Our members are interested in understanding the traditions and skills of the people who used the tools of many different trades and crafts from the earliest times to the present day. Membership of TTTG is open to all; we have tool collectors, historians, craftspeople and members of a very wide cross-section of trades and professions.

WHERE DO WE MEET?

At each meeting, a guest speaker makes a presentation on traditional tools, their use and history.

We publish a newsletter six times per year which is sent to all members in advance of meetings. The newsletter contains details of the forthcoming meeting, articles and catalogue reprints of interest to those who share our love of old tools. Many members who live outside of Sydney, and can only occasionally get to meetings, hold their membership principally for the newsletter.
