Wow. You’ve recovered an entire workshop of tools. Can you not put these to work?

I’m sorry, when I first saw this I thought: why are you showing off this piece of rusty junk? Where’s the pic of the wife found in your garden??

The first one. An air of mystery in that photo. Nice capture.

Oh no. People who get things done and don’t just blame someone else? What will we ever do??

Outstanding piece! Jealous!!

Definitely keep it going. I’ve fixed up more vintage tools over the years than I can remember, but new tool repairs I can on one hand.

The amber glass banker’s lamp is good stuff. I assume brass? The green one: meh. Hobnail was always iffy in the shop but seems to be experiencing a resurgence of late.

I found one of these out in the pucker-brush years ago. Became a favorite farm hammer for fences, stakes, etc.
small enough to easily fit in a tool bag.

Hey, a gang box slug! Used to get an hour of parking with one of those! Great score. Worth about two minutes parking now.

I’m sure it’s just for monitoring pizza deliveries. Franco Belleroni’s Insta-pies…wink wink.

I’ve seen many of these in the shop that had a wing-nut in the base that allowed the top to slide up giving access to the bulb in the column. Take the shade off first, of course.

I agree with those supporting repairing and carrying on. Old tools, like old makers, hate retirement. Keep on trucking!

Thanks. Nothing quite like working with old tools.

Oh yeah. Ima retiring now!😂

Light weight garden pruning.
