Making Laying Tools (and Selling Antiques)

I just added a new shop that specializes in various types of needle arts and framing to the blog list--We, Of the Needle.  They are located in Brea, CA, which is way too far from Chilly Hollow for me to take a field trip but at least we can visit via their blog.  Something I'm interested in are their custom laying tools.

Here is a glimpse of how these are made.

If laying tools aren't your thing, how about antique stitching tools?
