Field of Tools 2026

A weekend long antique tool and machinery swap meet in the heart of the Catskill Mountains at the Blackthorne Resort

Field of Tools is a weekend-long antique tool and equipment swap meet held at the Blackthorne Resort in East Durham, NY and hosted by Chris Cash of Mt. Phillip Metal Works. This gathering brings together collectors, craftspeople, and tool enthusiasts for a one-of-a-kind marketplace dedicated to the tools that built America.

Spend the weekend buying, selling, and trading everything from blacksmithing and woodworking tools to farm equipment, machinery, and hard-to-find shop relics. Whether you’re hunting for a specific piece, clearing out your own collection, or just love the history and craftsmanship behind vintage tools, Field of Tools offers a relaxed, community-driven environment to connect with fellow makers and tool enthusiasts.

Set against the backdrop of the Catskills, the event combines the thrill of the hunt with the camaraderie of shared knowledge, stories, and skill. Bring a truck, bring a table, and bring your passion for old iron.
