There’s just something about old tools that fascinates. A few years ago when my girlfriend sold her family home, I was told to “take whatever you want from the workshop, the rest goes to the new owners”.
The result was a ridiculous amount of very old woodworking tools like planes, drawknives, clamps, carving tools, all of which were made in Sweden and owned by her grandfather. They’ve all been restored and sharpened now, and get used weekly in our workshop. Crazy to think that they’re 80-90 years old and will definitely outlive me.
