Took a few pics of some of my junk that I have collected from auctions, flea markets and just digging through junk.
1- my rusty and broken wrenches welded make nice displays
2- planes, saw sets,levels,etc
3- small collection of Keen Kutter in this old carpenter box

Nice artwork. I've thought about doing that with some of my broken old tools for many years but never seem to get around to doing it. You have confirmed that it's worth doing, Very cool, Thanks for the Pics.

In the 2nd picture near the bottom left there is something (12-15" long) clamped to the very edge of the shelf board (bottom shelf).  There also appears to be a like version, but smaller, just above it clamped to the shelf above.

What is it?

Saw setting vise, there's a third one in there if you look carefully.....

[northkid]

Rusty is correct. All 3 are different saw vises

Great tool collection!  I am curious about how your walls are constructed. Are those stacked planks? Is that tar paper or pitch between them?

I framed a building with 2x6 walls. even insulated it and vapour barrier on inside if I ever want to heat it. Then just nailed it out with 1x6 spruce boards cut locally that were stored inside a building. They kept that nice white color. Nothing fancy.

The building with the carpenter tool display is stacked 2x4's that I had around built on a wood floor from a grainery that I put on a hopper. It wasn't as easy to build as I thot. Hard to keep plumb and the doorway caused a bit of trouble but trim boards covered my mistakes.

>doorway caused a bit of trouble but trim boards covered my mistakes.

Believe me when I tell you, door casing hides a LOT of people's mistakes ;P

OK, now, I'm curious, why build a building from stacked 2x4's? Insulation value?

Just had a pile of 2x4s in a covered pile for several years and then found moisture had got into the pile in one spot so used the good pieces to build this little building. Mostly for fun and the challenge. Over the last 25 years have harvested spruce trees several times and had it sawed for my own use.
