I thought it would be interesting in seeing other peoples pictures and history of tools that have a special meaning to you.
I have two. The jig saw was given to me by my mom and dad, circa 1955. I was 11 years old. It was my first woodworking tool. My dad delivered uniforms to a factory that made mobile homes,
Thanks for sharingin the days when the paneling was made with quality plywood. Somewhat like aircraft quality. He brought boxes of scrap to me. I made dozens of What-not shelves and cut outs. My love of wood working was born on that little saw.
The second is a Stanley 45 given to me by my old friend before he died last June. He was 96. He bought the plane new in 1935 for $18.00.
Thanks for sharing,
Herbert
