I recently refound an article about H D Smith to share-
http://ilikerust.com/BriefHistoryofHDSmithCo.shtml

QuoteUnfortunately, "Perfect Handle" has become a bit like "Kleenex".  People often describe any tool with wooden handles as a Perfect Handle tool.  But "true" Perfect Handle tools were made only by H. D. Smith & Co., in Plantsville, Connecticut.

Hey that's my buddy Bill Taggart!
I hadn't seen his webpage for a while and he's been working on it. Way to go Bill!

Look over in the left column, 4 items down? That's my router! 
He made that for me one time. Blew me away!  Only one he ever made.
Its so adorable he should make 1000 more.

  Thanks Rusty
I have become like John Lee Hooker......

    It'd be funny if it weren't so tragically true.
