Post your OLD Tools & Accessories Thread!


Recommended Posts

I thought it would be cool to start a thread for everyone to post pictures of their old tools & related accessories. Can be old tools from family member's, old items you find around your shop, old cool stuff that you come across while cleaning, etc.

I recently put this together. After my Dad passed away I was selling off a bunch of his tools for my Mom. He wanted me to have his stuff but I had everything he has and more.  Some of the old tools really had no value so I made garage art out of it.  All this was tools that was around from my youth.

This is just stuff I've already uploaded, I'll add more later:

One of my Dad's drills:

A router/router table I bought a couple months ago. Works great!:

Also bought this router at the same time, it works well also. I just used both this weekend:

All beauties, but I still think I'm most jealous of the Grinder ?

It is a good looking machine. I really want to do the jointer but I'm being good and holding off. It works just fine so no rush like the drill press.

I like that a lot @rrmccabe 

what did you use to secure the tools and what materials did you use?? I was thinking of doing this with some of my grandfathers old tools
