Used my spare time here to clean up and organize things a bit. It certainly helped me keep my sanity. One of the noteworthy items is my great grandfather’s massive holdfast. Probably the largest I ever held. Another unusual item is the Inca tilting table saw with side mortiser. That actually came from the US over 35 years ago. I remember helping him make the stand for it. 9 11 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet that would feel good for the soul! Repaired the outside patio furniture he built. Weather had taken a toll on many parts. Repaired also numerous things around house. He had not done anything in years. Kind of lost his enthusiasm for it. I cleaned all of his tools and sharpened everything. This way it looks like he just left shop a few minutes ago. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is obvious where you acquired you wood working talents and respect for the craftsmanship that went into tooling made to last. Have a safe trip home and we will continue to hold your father's health up in our prayers. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
