From my first book to my first bookbinders tools. Read how this all got started, and where it’s going.

make it a reality

Sage Tools needs your help to make these tools a reality. Designs are finalized. Prototypes need to be made, parts manufacturers sourced and a host of other small tasks need doing before we can make them available to the public. All of that costs considerable cheddar, which is where you can help.

Your monthly donation goes towards materials, prototyping, and tooling. You’ll get monthly updates and journals detailing the current stages of the project, and be able to offer your feedback in response. Your contributions directly keep this endeavor alive.

Please, help make this project a reality.
