[QUOTE="Red Fred, post: 8201764, member: 189"] We have a charity in the barn who take in tools, usually donated when an old boy has died, and they clean/restore them, pack them up and ship them out to Africa, An awful lot of the hand tools are beautiful old things but they are given so many they end up disposing of them as no one uses these old woodworking tools any more. I have come across a few old books from the 1900-1930 era that were being thrown out with the tools and they are packed with useful hints and forgotten knowledge. I have one here called The Mechanic's Friend which has loads of in depth engineering advice, and it is even more amazing that it was aimed at teenaged boys in the 1930s. [/QUOTE]
