Hi everyone, my name is Hugo Kohl and I’m based in Harrisonburg, VA. I own Hugo Kohl Jewelry, where we handcraft fine jewelry and also operate a small museum dedicated to preserving America’s Industrial Age jewelry-making machinery.
Over the years, I’ve built up a large collection of antique tools and machines—everything from drop hammers and rolling mills to dies and casting equipment. I’m now in the process of downsizing that collection and will be listing many of these pieces for sale.
I joined this forum to connect with others who share an interest in vintage machinery, metalworking, and restoration. I’m also hoping to find good homes for some of the tools in my collection.
Looking forward to learning from the community here and sharing some of the machines I’ve worked with!
