All Comments on Hand tool collection

That’s a pretty cool collection.

Very nice collection, I love the ones that we don’t use but are still beautiful and we would never part with. I like your cabinet too. Your thoughts about power/hand are similar to me, as with most woodworkers I’m betting. Thanks for sharing.

Nice collection. Always wanted a “Buck Rogers”. Maybe someday I will get around to getting one. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! Restoring tools is such a labour intensive job that I haven’t crossed the line yet into collector, other than a few planes like the Buck Rogers, but it is a slippery slope….

Rob,

You have some real beauties there . . . and you know how to use them!

It’s fun to go back and forth from here to Ljs,I’ve been a member here for some time and decided it would be good to interact with the folks on WW

Lovely collection and a wonderful cabinet.
I like that you collect tools and not brands.
Best thoughts,

Jim, I still lurk on LJ’s too but I find myself lost in the vast sea of other voices on the site, so I don’t post very often anymore. It’s nice to have a small enough community where you can get to know a lot of the other members.

Mafe and L/W
Thanks! Nice to see you both over on WW as well!

So nice to see you guys here.
My problem is I posted so much on LJ and it have links all over the web so to change spot is like I have to spend a month or so doing it…
But yes we miss Martin and his way of running it, a lot.
Perhaps one day a site of my own will be the change that makes me do it.
Hmmmm perhaps a LJ veterans site, lol.

I like that idea; an LJ’s alumni or veteran’s site…
