Most of us older than 50 and use tools on job or home have a small collection of antiques. From his collection I have a saw vice and slate hammer. I also have planes, hammers wrenches and a lot of other shit.
Eh. It's not made out of beryllium, it's made out of beryllium bronze, an about that's mostly copper.
I've seen better demonstrations of old tools. Though I suppose the heat shaped hog ear punch is kinda cool. I'd think people would just use notches though. Can do that with a knife. That punch strikes me as expensive.
That hog scraper. That was for removing hair. Ya dunked the hog in a barrel of hot water, pulled it out and scraped the hair off with those things. I know because I've done it many times.
why does he feel he has to apologize for the way our grandfathers lived and the things they had to do?

ReplyDeleteMy dad became a carpenter after WWII. I have a ton of old wood working tools that I use to this day. Dad bought good tools and took care of them.

Yeah, you try cutting on a pig's ear with a knife and let me know how that works out for you. They use a punch because it's quick.
