I was reading 2volts post on the tool maker's clamps that he made. http://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/toolmaker-clamps.54532/#post-463629
Very nice write-up and shop made tools BTW. I noticed RandyM's post on cleaning up a set of clamps that he made in shop class and wondered if anyone else still uses tools that they made in Jr. or High School shop class?
I have 2 hand forged cold chisels that are my go to tools when a chisel is needed. These were made somewhere around 1969 +/- a year or so. Other tools that were made in Jr. High are long gone, tool maker's clamps and several light hammers come to mind.
Anyone else using old tools that were made in shop?
