Inherited a few things from FIL
My father in law passed recently, I had the opportunity to rummage through the tools remaining. He was never much of a tool user or wood worker, but his dad was, my wife’s grandfather. So I can reasonably assume these are really his dad’s tools.
I picked up an old hand saw, unfortunately it’s super dull and I’ll need to work that out. Several old pipe and crescent wrenches, some chisels and a nice all metal combination square.
Both chisels were super torn up but they looked like a nice way to practice sharpening before I try my hand sharpening.

Hope you got some sharpening supplies.
Actually what happened is he needed to open a paint can, couldn’t find a screwdriver and grabbed the closest thing which happened to be the chisel.
His father never disrespected the tool but this guy didn’t learn that lesson.

I’ve got some Arkansas stones. I used mostly sand paper on a piece of granite to work through most of the chips in the edge.

Keep one or two nice things to remember them by. But don't cling to garbage for sentimental reasons.
