If you’re like me, then you’ve got a dad or a grandfather that was just larger than life. He was or is your hero. And chances are, there’s a shop, full of the smells of things that have been built or worked on, little jars of screws and nails, scraps of things that might get used “some day”, and a whole bunch of tools that you just can’t buy anymore.

That’s me and my granddaddy’s tools. They’re more than just a bunch of tools that have a logical purpose. But they’re touchstones of a man and the era that he represented. And there’s no amount of money that would make me part ways with them.

So come hang out with me for a few minutes and we’ll take a trip back as we talk about My Grandfather’s Tools…right here, on everyday woodworking.

And it seems like a daunting task, but it really isn’t. However, it’s not something I think you should take lightly. And with that in mind, I want to talk a little about how we did it, and then give you some tips about how you can do the same.

So join us for all that and more...right here on Everyday Woodworking!
