The “Starter” Tool Set (to get you, or
someone special, started making furniture)
This tool set was originally called the “Creepie” set because it
was designed to be sufficient tools to make a creepie stool but
this name didn’t fit well with the range of tool sets so we
changed it to “Starter”. Despite this the
intention and the set of tools remained the same.
A lady from Shetland recently told me why the
“creepie stool” is so-called.
In the Old Days - and this could go back a
long way - (they probably had them at Skara Brae, but made of
stone), the islanders would sit round the fire at night, to keep
warm and tell stories, etc |
