Joshua Clarke is the founder of Hyperkitten Tool Company, a business dedicated to sourcing and selling high-quality vintage hand tools to people who actually use them. He began collecting and restoring tools in 1999 after learning woodworking with hand tools in a small townhouse and turned that passion into a business in 2010 in Oxford, Connecticut. Over the years Joshua has shipped tools across the U.S. and internationally, carefully inspecting and restoring each item and offering unconditional guarantees on every sale. His work gained wider recognition after being featured by Christopher Schwarz and in The Anarchist's Tool Chest, helping the business grow and thrive while he balances it with family life and a full-time job.

Shownotes
Mike Pekovich and Phil Huber join Ben to debrief their week-long woodworking tour of England—part museum crawl, part shop class, all inspiration. From London's Building Crafts College (trade-focused millwork and stonemasonry) to the Snowdon School of Furniture (studio furniture, domestic woods, and a "rip-only" tablesaw philosophy), they compare shop practices and rethink joinery workflows (tenoners, Domino, band-sawn cheeks, using the miter saw's depth stop). The trip winds through the Westonbirt Arboretum and an unforgettable boxwood deep-dive with a Baroque oboe maker, then into the V&A's technique-curated furniture gallery. In the Cotswolds, Rodmarton Manor (Barnsley/Gimson) and the Gordon Russell Museum spark lessons in design "grammar," chamfers, and English drawer slips you'll want to steal. There's even a pub-hall turning demo with Paul Hannaby—pints included. Plus: a quick preview of next week's Woodworking in America in Des Moines and what Ben, Phil, and friends will be teaching and doing on site.
