I've started buying them some better tools if/when they get married (I hope so, because loneliness has been brutal)...

Last Christmas I gave them a bunch of newly manufactured tools. many of which I currently use myself, before I got on the vintage kick…

I built the trunk last year just to get wood out of my way and I'm still not done with it…

So far I have the Marples 7 1/2" bevel gauge, Disston Canada D-8 26" 5.5ppi rip Thumbhole, Stanley No.3 and No.4 planes in good shape, and a decent older Craftsman miter box with a Disston made (not marked) 26" saw, Millers Falls No.1 hand drill…

They do work with wood in a limited fashion and I'm willing to encourage it in every way I can…

Since I have no offspring of my own to teach or pass anything down to the things I do mean so much if I can help the few people I care about.

Edit: I changed from the D-7 to the D-8 and added pic of D-8

Hand tool Wood Tool Metalworking hand tool Gas


Got them a bit more today…

The square came in today and the augers got at a yardsale this morning…

6" Marples Trial One, some Craftsman USA augers 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and an Irwin adjustable auger…

I'm hoping I will come across a couple of the same augers in a 10, and 14 to complete the set…

I kept the Micro-Dial auger I got today for myself but it bothers me that I'm not giving them that one instead of this one. I know that I will tell her this and she'll say its alright but I may have to deal with this for years.

Wonderful gift. We got my son hand tools for his graduation present. Hopefully mine will pass on to him in the future and continue to be used. The pain is that he and his family are a long ways away, so we won't get to work together much, but he has promised to teach the grandkds.
