You may have to register for an account to view their catalog but it's free & easy to do. Also, request one of their printed catalogs.

Barnsley is also known as Woodware Repetitions. I'm not sure if they have a website.

If I lived in your area I would be looking at Ebay for older hand tools. You have access to a treasure trove compared to those of us in the US.

Woodware Repetitions sold off most of the George Barnsley stock to Hale & Co in the US, who have an extensive catalogue on their website (http://haleandco.com/). They now sell most of the products on eBay.

Woodware Repetitions have started making a limited range of the old Barnsley products, but they don't have a website.

Much of the cordwaining related tools Edwin Hale is selling is newer stock that he just drop ships direct from Woodware. I wonder if those of you in Europe wouldn't get a better price by going direct to the manufacturer.

A good source to network with other shoe and bootmakers

There are several forums, and while there is not direct selling allowed, you may mention that you are looking to buy or sell, and will get good responses.

I am NOT a boot or shoemaker, just found this resource fascinating, as many of the techniques carry through to other leathercrafting disciplines. VERY nice people there, too!
