I use a lot of old tools in my woodworking hobby. I have planes dating back to the time of the American revolution. I should get some pictures.
Not my picture but I have similar planes:

Glad to see someone else still uses one of these. I have a few other vintage Stanley rulers but this one sees the most use anymore. |

Spring calipers. They are old school but sometimes they are about the only thing that will work.
Not my collection, stock photo, but I probably have as many if not more. |

Turned out that the "wood" was actually ivory.

Beryllium (anti-spark) wrenches and pliers. They actually are radioactive. My dad had them when he worked in the oil fields.

At work, we have an old wooden spoke wheel with a solid rubber tire mounted. It's attached to a tripod and used as a turntable to unwind rolled up hose.

My entire radio bench is tube era tools and testing equipment.
Latest addition was ANOTHER Signal generator. I just can't walk by a Hickock 188x or Rider Chanalyst.. Last week it was the Rider.. Not mine but one like this.. FOUR magic eye tubes.. Glorious.  |

I would walk in and stand at the end of his drafting table, he would look up and talk to me when he was free. Sometimes Id be a minute, sometimes I'd sit and wait until he was free (it could be a while) Truth is I'd love to be able to do that again, just sit and wait and watch him work. |
