The way I see it, lots of things are still as useful as they were decades ago and I don't just mean as decorations or reminders. No reason to let it rust into oblivion or end up in a scrapyard(sadly I find a lot of things there that are beyond salvaging). Everything in the newest post came from a flea market. Dad said he saw an odd hand plane at one vendor...the vendor claimed it was for removing the stamps on wooden crates so they could be restamped and used again. I didn't see it or I would have at least taken a picture. Someone had likely already bought it by the time I made the rounds.
By all means, someone else find some weird old rusty junk and post it here.

I like rusty junk. I like weird rusty junk even better.

David, I need to build a usable workshop before I can decorate it.

The shop I have now was my grandfathers and was never a really good work space. Drafty and cold in the winter, blazing hot in the summer. The wife is quite ready for me to build a new shop, but we haven't sat down to figure out what it's going to cost for what I want.
