Occasionally use some of the tools from my wife's great-great grandfather. Original Starret tools for the 1880's. Could use but would not some of my pre-1800 anvils in my forge.
I have two worm drive Skil saws from the 1950, that I paid a total of $20 for both. They both work great, just got to keep the oil level up before use. One is a 7" and one is a 9".
My FFPW is still hibernating for the winter. Despite the 60 degree weather today, it still wants to sleep till March or April.
