Welcome to our new Forum

As you can see we have now added a forum for members to discuss anything they like on the topic of Antique and collectable tools.
More features will be added as we develop it further.
Enjoy!

Thanks Steve looking forward to more members joining in when the website is launched properly. This should be great help with gaining information with those unusual finds.
Keep up the good work.

As with all forums they do take a while to get off the ground but the great thing about them is that until they do you can always come back at a later date to review any responses and continue with any interaction.

It’s certainly strange writing on here before we get members joining but i guess this will be read and of some use in the future.

Hello, happy to be one of the first guys to post on the forum !  wish a real long life !

Thanks Michel, yes you are indeed an early bird to this website and we are working hard behind the scenes to bring together the website functions before we send out invitation emails to all those who have joined our mailing lists.

As you can appreciate there is lots of testing and setting up before we can give this a proper push with advertising ready for next year. The website is currently working its way up the Google rankings and bringing a few new views so I really need to spend some more time on the content that will interest new members with increasing membership.

I can also say we are also working on getting together a nice collection of interesting antique and collectable tools ready for our first auction. I’m sure this will be the spark that will encourage others to join up and use what has been put together.

At least the forum is working as it should , there will be more changes and features being added later but this has to be done as I get time between running Tooltique, buying and selling the user grade tools in Tooltique. I really could do with a longer day and 10 days a week.

In the mean time if you have any questions of suggestions please let me know.

Kind Regards Steve

Hi John,

Good to have a new member on board, I’ve got to free up a bit more time to work on the website but I’m restricted with only doing 1 day per week at the moment due to being so busy with Tooltique.

I’ve yet to send out emails to our mailing list to tell them everything is working and ready to go.

But hopefully whilst there is little action you will start to find your way around the admin and how things work.

Regards Steve

Hi Gary,

Thanks for joining it much appreciated.

Online forums do take a while to get properly going as they are a bit like a chicken and egg scenario where many people wait for content before they get involved.

We are nearly ready with the site to start with our newsletters to encourage earlier sign ups to make clear the membership includes two auctions per year regardless when people join.

I’ve been concentrating on the user experience with making the site suitable for most devices and browsers which has been quite a large task.

We are now working on two more areas to make it easier for users to follow the auctions as they end and a management screen to gain a better picture over the live events. We also want to add more features that will accommodate traditional phone absent bids and live text alerts.

The website will evolve and improve over time but it’s a big task that is taking all my spare time to get this site to where it is today. I really need to start on the content aspect which should start soon now we are taking images for September’s auction.

Anyway with some help from some friends in the industry and those as passionate about it we can hopefully get this show on the road.

Regards Steve

Many new members but still no activity in this forum, I guess this might take a little longer to establish.

Well I’m here should anyone have something to discuss.
