Hey everyone, I'm stuck in Newport, RI for a few weeks and I'm hoping to find some great spots within 100 miles to check out hand tools. Does anyone have recommendations on where to go?

You might want to check out Jules Antiques in Richmond, RI. They've got a couple of vendor booths on the second floor where you can find some cool hand tools!
If you're up for a little drive, reach out to Walt Primrose in Wood River Junction. He runs a working cabinet shop, so you'll need to schedule a visit in advance, but it's definitely worth it! You can find him on Instagram at @aworkingcollection.
Definitely hit up the two antique shops in New Bedford! I swing by on my trips to the Cape and they usually have some interesting finds. Also, there's an antiques mall just north of Providence that was good last time I visited, but not sure how it is now. Oh, and keep an eye on Marketplace too; there's a vendor in Warwick with a big selection!
Sounds great! I’ll be sure to check that out, thanks!
