He was...Ha, it might seem like carpenter but nope. He was sales most of his life, a bit of engineering later but the woodworking was always an offshoot of his hobbies. He built and flew LARGE radio controlled planes and designed his own. He built his own small fishing boat in the garage once. Then in later years is when he really started getting into the furniture building and making small wooden items. All self taught. <br /><br />Yep, they're all home again! Dad would have LOVED this barn/workshop. Well, the space it has I'll have to make sure I clean it up and organize nicely. 1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-55911283019671530582017-05-31T23:42:10.719-05:002017-05-31T23:42:10.719-05:00Shh, don't tell anyone......... ;-)

Plus I will organize them the way I want to. Air compressor was questionable keep or sell but I think it could really come in handy someday so it stayed in the keep pile, ha. I will share pics when I get around to that (probably this fall when the weather is cooler, ha). Too funny, my Mom loved looking for old tools for my Dad just to have some old things as well.

I can see why you kept every piece, and moved them to the farm. You will be able to use all of these items out at your farm. In time, you'll have that compressor up and working....trust me it comes in handy with tractor tires, wheel barrow tires, wagon tires, and even vehicle tires. And then you can set up air pressured tools to help on your farm.

Anyway, his store offers woodworking classes, everything from shop safety, turning pens, bowls through furniture making. There's also a "date night" class that's very popular. You should check your area for something similar. Then, maybe, you could use your dad's lathe *safely*! Plus it's fun?Katie C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-40299902804770898852017-05-30T09:28:27.048-05:002017-05-30T09:28:27.048-05:00How wonderful to have items that your dad once ow...How wonderful to have items that your dad once owned.<br />That drafting table is Awesome. Who ever built it done a wonderful job and was good in woodworking.<br />If you don't have a label maker, you should get yourself one and label your tool box drawers once you get it organized. Helps in the long run knowing what is in each drawer; providing everything is put back in it's place but with the drawers labeled it makes it much easier on which goes in what drawer.<br />Nice air compressor. That will come in very handy<br />Would love to see pictures of your unknown tool items. Honestly, for a female, I love the old tools. When I go to the Antique Mall, that is one of the first booth's I head for just to see what I can find that is different and unique .Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106960827480062745noreply@blogger.com
