@Ed KennellOn last photo, center brace/ drill combination. Now that is something that is not seen everyday. Extremely rare. Willing to bet that 99% of woodworkers have never seen one. Can you post some more detailed photos of it including manufacturers stamp?

Yes, I'll get you some details.   I need to go back to the shop anyway. to sharpen Mrs. K's knives.

  As you probably know, the drill handle is removable from the brace and it has a ratchet feature for confined space operation.  I also know you would appreciate the walnut handles.

A couple more questions;

Do you have the cutters for the "beading" tool on the top right hand side?

Are the socket chisels Buck?

What brand is the four fold ruler in the door by the saws. If a Stanley what # is it. Looks more like a Lufkin.

Is that a leather strop board between saws?

OK,  The only cutter I have is the one in the tool.

The only chisel that is marked is the upside down one...it is Stanley.

The four fold rule is marked  Made in England.

The metal folded rule is a Lufkin.

Yes, that is a leather strop.

I threw in the Stanley Butt Hinge Gauge.

Now details on the Brace / drill.       It is marked K D 110P3160151.JPG.bd5b752e1e88b30336086cc4a35293f4.JPGP3160153.JPG.fca98b49f3d096c3088090c1bc215040.JPGP3160156.JPG.664b76dc1d3a1077c4f711a96b9dcaf2.JPGP3160157.JPG.d0301be8c925d466cf73232f08288e24.JPG

 

Interesting,  with the drill handle removed and the ratchet engaged on the brace, it is possible to bore a hole square to a wall and 1.5" from the perpendicular wall.

 

Oh, I did get the knives sharpened.

WOW this is getting better by the minute. Owner definitely knew his his tools and from what I see knew how to use them.

That brace is extremely rare. It looks similar to The Millers Falls probably made by them.

Oh, actually Stanley 67 spoke shave. Should have rosewood handles. They can be removed and inserted perpendicular to the other one in the threaded part above blade.Another pricey item.

Good news on chisels too. They look like a version of the Stanley ever last except for handles.

#95 butt gauge with box. Box is important. That is an older one. That box seldom found.

Wet Grinder sweet too.

Some good stuff there. Enough there to buy a pretty good tractor.

This is a recent wall hanger.  It’s not so much a tool, but a big collage of important things in our life together.  I built this out of some pickets from Grandma and Grandpa’s property, the house that recently burned.  My father inlaw bought his childhood home from his parents while Grandma was in a home.  We recently lost her to alsheimers and just to our right in the photo is where the pickets came from.  As you can see, we were wed there and the place is a pretty significant place of memories for my wife as the fence surrounded the “junkyard” where she used to play.  She’d like me to add one more knob, the one from the bathroom in the house, it was changed out last summer and given to Taylor as a funny keepsake.

Requested pics in another thread so here's a few of our walls.

 

Yes the levels, are.

IMG_20190317_085502958.jpg.960214d975abb6b7ce8ed86427c5fa75.jpg

 

My grandfather that got me interested in Tractors in the first place used to use that big sickle. The saws were his as well. I used the one at the top just the other day.

My other grandfather liked birch trees, as do I. There are several other paintings with birches.

IMG_20190317_085315582.jpg.c5d7c90ef7ebe41002cfc833b926e5e2.jpg

 

Various tools from inheritance and other finds.

IMG_20190317_085359890.jpg.b18786a0b2cc7d9d44df6aadde7fde56.jpg

 

Trina's wall of karate including her Black Belt certificate. Yes, she knows how to use those "decorations" along with several others.

And the dog's favorite indoor spot.

Her name is Meeha.

IMG_20190317_085336441.jpg.05ef2a376ed99e8ea7753ad8aa2b80c1.jpg

 

 

 

Feel free to share your own pictures!!

 

 

Yes, the levels are.... (what?) :D

 

EB, your wall deco is absolutely priceless!  I love that you can pull them down and put them to use, if needed.

 

Trina, you rock!  I’d love/hate to see those tools in use!  I guess it depends how they’re used....  :handgestures-thumbupright:

 

Hey Mirror!  Yep, Meeha might be how they spell it, but I’m convinced the New England accent translates to “Image of Yourself”.

That wall hanging is wonderful. I love it.

 

 

 

Here's another little addition we made yesterday afternoon.

Last weekend we opened up the bottom of the stairway by removing a wall and rebuilding part of it back up.

 

Here's a couple of before and after.

Here is the wall as completed. The Shelf is an old piece of reclaimed rough Pine. The braces are harvested from our forest by Trina yesterday.

When we had a house completely to ourselves, we had a “Moto Room”. It was a den that I took control of. I had a great deal of my own, but also my dads and both grandfathers military momentos. I also had a lot of our “family history” stuff up as well. Once we moved, most of those things had to be boxed back up, but some are still on display. 

Circling back to my most recent post, we’ve also started putting some of my pictures up as well. I have a few things here and there though.

@LengerichKA88

That family tree is wicked cool.

 

On my mother's side of the family, there is a fellow in Western Massachusetts that has a tree that is on two or three pieces of plywood!

It goes all the way back to the middle of the 1200s if I remember correctly.

Cool part is, all that research was done three or four or five decades ago or much much more. Long long long before the internet was available. I can't even begin to comprehend the amount of hours that went into that tree over the century or two.

That family tree is of my maternal side.... my grandpa was the only son and he had four daughters.... our branch of the Finch family is essentially gone. But that tree (while now we know it is incorrect on a couple people) was done by my grandfathers uncles. 

My paternal grandfather was able to run the Lengerich/Großelengerich (name change in New York upon naturalization in 1870) to 910AD. I’m hoping to get all of his work someday.

@ebinmaineIs the large level on wall a Starrett? Also the small ax, does it happen to be a Plumb with the Boy Scouts emblem engraved on it?

I don't think that small axe has an emblem on it but I'd be happy to check it for you.

I'll check that level and see what it says. I've looked at it before but I can't remember now.

 

The Starrett company has a special place for me because I was born and raised in Athol Massachusetts where that company was based. They are worldwide now and decreasingly in Athol.

Also quite fond of The Millers Falls tools because I was living right near there when I was in Western Massachusetts.

Millers Falls also one of my favorites. They have some unique stuff that only they made.

Here what that emblem looks like.

Lots of hidden treasure out there. The sad thing is that you find a lot of these items at flea markets for peanuts and outright in the garbage sometimes. If people knew how much they are worth they would think twice about disposing of them in that manner. Most of the time they belonged to someone in the family that has passed. Obviously there wasn't much interest in their professions which in many cases was also their lives passion. Woodworking was always the profession in my family documented since the early 1800's. Besides one of my children up to now I am the last one in the line that has followed it. There is great hope that the grandchildren will follow it. I have been fortunate to also inherit most of the family tools, and I always stress to them that after I am gone to respect what has been so dear to me and to keep everything together. The most important pieces I have already passed them on to my son so they are already safe for the next generation, and they are all proudly displayed in his house being also a source of early influence to the grandchildren. If you pay enough attention these tools along with other artifacts made by them are like a book about them. You just have to learn how to read it. I can honestly say that through out my life, I have probably learned as much if not more from people that passed away which I never met than from people I have interacted with.

Athol?  Well now.  I should have figured as much, Eric.   That kind of explains a lot of things.  Is this you hanging out at the tool factory?

 

LOL!!!

It's true Dave. I have no defense. Anybody who's ever been through that little town  understands full well the type of people that come from there.
