I was over at my uncles place last weekend helping him clean out his garage. He handed me this beat up old wooden router plane that belonged to my grandpa. I almost tossed it in the donate pile but he stopped me and said "your grandpa cut every dovetail joint in this house with that thing." Now I'm looking up the model online and it's selling for like $150 on ebay. Has anyone else found a hidden gem in a family members old toolbox that turned out to be valuable?
I kept finding rust on my hand tools stored in plastic bins in my basement over two winters. Switched everything to surplus .50 cal ammo boxes I grab for $5 each at flea markets and not a speck of rust since. Anyone else use military surplus containers for gear storage?
Been drying my own corn for years. Always just squeezed a kernel with my teeth and guessed. This old meter had a little chart inside. Told me I've been over-drying by like 6 percent. Anyone else use old ag gear for small-scale stuff?
