Some Old Chisels and Clamps

These belonged to my wife's grandfather. The nedd some TLC but I think I'll be able to bring them back to life.

Mostly Buck Bros.

Wooden screw clamps

Small "C" Clamps and some pinch clamp thingies

What a great set of old tools! I'm sure you'll get some great use out of those. Nice to have things handed down through the family. Hope you have a future woodworker grandson or granddaughter to pass them on to.

Just remember, they aren't good because they're old...they're old because they're GOOD!!! :wink_smil

I picked up a few Buck Bros bench chisels a while back at a MWTCA meeting and really like them...a lot!

I like old hand tools. I like the lines, the balance, the feel. I can imagine the joy of some past woodworker looking down on me and smiling as I shave wood with one of his old toys. I like to think he wouldn't have it any other way.
