just started collecting
« on: July 18, 2012, 09:06:19 PM »
I just began collecting, some of the tools were given to me buy my dad sothey have sentimental value as well as asthetics.  I wanted to join the forum to get a better understand of tools and thier makers. This is going to be very helpful in gathering tools and finding some of the missing pieces.

Welcome to Tool Talk!

We do like pictures, and should be able to help with tool IDs.

Welcome to the best old tools place.   I've collected/used old tools for years, and am still stumped and amazed by what is posted here.  It is always enlightening.
