ITARO TOOLS is an American company. The word "ITARO" is a made-up one resembling the word "iterate," to suggest a process of continuous improvement.
The company and everything it produces is the work of one person, David Yeung, a former computer programmer.
In 2016 I left the tech world to find fulfillment in work where individuals determine standards, not managers and executives. I've always been handy and have had a inclindation towards perfectionism.
I currently produce leather strops as my livelihood in addition to reconditioning the occassional hand plane or chisel. My eventual goal is to make precision hand and power tools that are both accessible and inexpensive.
Most of work is done by hand with hand tools. I plan to incorporate more machinery in the future, though there will always be at least some hand work involved in the process of making.
I work from my home shop built out of a spare room. I reside in the mountains of rural southern New Mexico with my dog and companion, Mesa.
