PNTC meetings are fairly unusual for tool collector meetings. We focus on education and research into tools, rather than just a buying frenzy (although there is some of that too!). Each meeting has a theme, and members are asked to display tools from their collections in that theme. Displays are judged and each member with a display can talk a little bit about interesting tool trivia shown in their display.

Sales occur at each meeting, but we use a more civilized method than just "run and grab". You'll have to come to a meeting to understand. Please contact me or another PNTC member for specific meeting time/place confirmation.
