Thread: New tools

.
.
The gentleman who got me started with forging is now in a nursing home and will probably stay there.
His son invited me to the workshop and told me to take whatever i wanted
I had planned on only taking the wrenches, files and a Foredom
Well the best laid plans of mice and men....
Here are a few pics.
I still have to go back and get a small buffer, vise and a few other things.
It took me the entire afternoon to unload, sort and put away most of this. Btw, the big red pail is filled with files.

Hoowee, Randy! Looks like a lot of work!

Bunches of files, drill bits galore,
Partial socket sets, buffing wheels that need cleaning, all kinds of dremel stuff plus 4 dremels besides the 2 foredom machines.
Just tons of stuff.

Just to be clear, I am not gloating over this. This comes from my teacher/mentor/friend, Doc Molenaar MD.
He will be 100 years old this month. He was of sound mind up until a couple of years ago.
Now it is necessary for him to be in the nursing home where he can be taken care of. He hates it but he does not remember where he lived and many other things.
I will put his tools to good use, that I will.
Promise.

What a haul! A bunch of great stuff. And l the wood and horn. Man, you hit the mother load.

Quite the acquisition Randy.
Never mind all the tools, you're now overstocked on scale material....wow!
Very cool indeed.
