Tools
for Gardeners, Small Holders, Green Wood-workers, & other Specialist Tools. TFSR
Cymru sells an ever-increasing number of tools that are not requested by our
overseas partners. These are fully refurbished,
sharpened and fitted with new handles where necessary. All these tools are individual
in character, and of better
quality than modern tools.
This is one of our main sources of income, and we sell them direct from the
workshop, or at local events such as the Small Holders
Show in Builth Wells or the Big Green Gathering near Cheddar.
 We
specialise in tools for green wood-workers, and we have an excellent range of
refurbished billhooks by all the well-known makers from the past. We
DO NOT normally sell these by mail order, as all tools are different and
need to be seen and felt before buying!

All profits from selling these tools will go towards our Project
which will provide training to artisan groups within Tanzania. They
will be taught new skills on the forge, better hardening and finishing techniques,
and helped with marketing their products.
This is a joint project between Lake Zone Artisans, The Small Industries Organisation,
and TFSR Cymru.
Preventing Waste. Recycling tools is one of our answers
to the waste economy. We live in an energy-guzzling, consumer society,
too ready to throw things away. In Africa, by contrast people waste very
little.
But what about the skills and energy of ordinary people?
In an African village, development is held back for the want of a few
tools - What a waste of human potential.
