In "The Woodwright" episode, which ran here last weekend, Roy visited Monticello and Poplar Forest. He mentioned a list James Dinsmore, Jefferson's master craftsman, had compiled of the tools at Monticello.
Is a copy of this list available somewhere on the internet?

Click on the link below.  When you arrive at the James Dinsmore site click on the "tool list" link near bottom of page.  Dinsmore's tool list in his own hand should appear.  Then look to right and click on interactive version to examine closely. You can enlarge and move around on the document and should be able to read it.

Or check here for the "not as much fun" (and maybe not as accurate!) typed list:
