These wood working tools belonged to my wife Sue's first husband's grandfather. They were used to make a child's bed that was 100 years old when she acquired it over 40 years ago. More simply put, they are around 150 years old and came from central Illinois just after the Civil War.

Fascinating photographs. They took me back in time, my father was a carpenter and I recognised the majority of those tools. Thanks for the memories:-)

I've got a few of those tools that have been handed down from my grand father and great uncle. They are very special to me.

Here's mine Photos are Fun - Tools
I was trying to get your bridge post to come up but I keep getting the message it does not exist. That is funny considering Linky put up a question mark in the thumbnail square for me. Instead I am looking at your past posts. This collection of old tools is so interesting. I envy you having so many. I have a hammer and a few of my dad’s old ones (he was in WWW!) but that is all. I like the way you placed them on the ground so we could look at each. Now you need to show us the bed. genie
