These 2 tire irons were standard issue tools sold with every Ford Model A automobile ever manufactured. Both irons are 10" long and were made to be used together to remove and install the slender Model A balloon tires.
The tire spoon with the square cutout on the end for adjusting the braking system is clearly marked "FORD A." The flat iron is unmarked for some reason. The Marked iron was manufactured for The Ford Motor Company by The K. R. Wilson Company. These two have been together for a very long time stored in a crumbling to bits (and really dirty) cotton bag, which I've passed along to the compost pile.
If you're lucky enough to own a Ford Model A and are looking for the basic tools, these two are a good start.

Briwax furniture wax is the premier multipurpose wax. Although originally developed for the artisan cabinet maker, it quickly became apparent that the untrained or amateur wood worker could obtain near professional results with this remarkably easy-to-use product. Amateurs and professionals alike, all agree, that no other wax can match the results that Briwax so easily delivers.
Briwax is a solvent based blend of beeswax and carnauba wax, two of ofthe finest wood finishing waxes known to man. Most of the waxes foundon the shelves today contain the solvents turpentine or mineralspirits. We use a much hotter solvent, toluene, which allows us toemulsify more of the harder, more durable waxes like carnauba to givebetter protection to your finished surfaces. The use of a hottersolvent results in the wax setting much more quickly, giving thecustomer the higher luster of the Briwax finish faster.
I've just finished making and fitting a new handle to this elderly trowel, for a friend. The original handle had rotted, and was, in any case, too thin to be held comfortably, as she suffers from arthritis. I had a long piece of yew which had been drying for the last three years or so, so I cut off a suitable length and shaped it for left-handed use. I've not done much work in yew before, but rather like it: I think I have sufficient straight length for a walking stick.
I didn't go to the sort of school which taught useful things like woodwork, and consequently, I had to teach myself, as and when the need arose. My first major project remains the largest I have ever tackled: a full-sized cabin bed for my son. The removals men cursed me, as it was huge and heavy, even broken down into sub-assemblies. Coming from an engineering background, I designed the thing with a view to it lasting, and it did: my son used it from the age of eight to seventeen, then we moved it back up to Bristol (we trailered it behind the Land-Rover), and my nephew took it over for a further eight years.
Other woodwork projects since have included a boot rack that needed two people to shift it, various walking sticks, two catteries, custom-built kitchen units, work benches, several tool handles, a couple of large bookcases, and a double-sized ashes box. As my old Latin master used to say, as his excuse for setting another long homework, 'It keeps you off the streets, boys!'

Pictures from this year's first Traditional Timber Framing and Full Scribe Log building course. We were building a Norwegian log cabin taught by Norwegian carpenter Marius Holje. As well students built a massive French style timber frame structure from heavy larch timbers using French and Japanese scribe rule centre line layout system. Log building was build using only axes and chisels. No saws were used to cut the joints.

Instant Tool Collection!
Actually, there are 5 Stone worker's chisels in this funky old tool set. Chisel number 6 is a Woodworking chisel and number 3 is a boat-builder's caulking chisel. (This one also happens to be the most valuable chisel in the bunch.)
These old tools have been loved pretty darn hard and will all need to be reground and sharpened if you plan to use them for stonework. The pictures will tell you more than I can, so please take a look.
Of course you don't have to do anything at all if you plan to display them. This lot of seven funky tools make an awesome instant collection!

The tools I used to make a guitar amp head cabinet, and some progress on the box joints!
The School begins classes once each year, early in October. Students are divided into sections of 12 students each, and get two hours of classroom instruction and six hours of shop instruction per day, Monday through Friday 8am - 5pm.
Basic Boatbuilding is the focus of the first semester, which runs from early October to late December.
The instructors assume that most, if not all, students have no woodworking skills and proceed from that assumption. The skills taught in the first semester are those essential to boatbuilding, and the course, for that reason, is very "hands-on".
Students learn to sharpen and use all their tools, and participate in a wide range of individual skill-building exercises, from learning to make the joints commonly used in boatbuilding to a series of tools. Basic lathe work is taught. Students learn to draft and make a half-model. Then, working in pairs, they learn to loft a boat full-size on the floor. Finally, working, together as a team, the semester culminates in December as students work together to build a flat-bottomed skiff.
The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding is located in Port Hadlock WA and is a private, accredited non-profit vocational school.
Our mission is to teach and preserve the fine art of wooden boatbuilding and traditional maritime crafts. We build both commissioned and speculative boats for sale while teaching students boatbuilding the skills they need to work in the marine trades.
