Late eighteenth-century kitchen tools beside the cooking fire at Grand Portage National Monument, on Lake Superior in northern Minnesota. It was quite clear to us that the friendly lady overseeing the kitchen could explain and demonstrate every one of these.
For my wonderful husband - I ran out of time as I had originally planned on making him some tools too.. I told him he would be able to guess what his gift was after seeing his cake - any guesses? Chocolate cake with home made strawberry filling - I layered the strawberries between the ganache so the berries would not seep into the cake.
This is a tube flaring jig that was cobbled together from a little bar stock and a couple of bolts. The top and bottom inserts are interchangeable for different size tubes and flare profiles. Yes, eventually I'll get around to cutting down that ridiculously long adjusting bolt. It's on my list, right after cleaning up the studio.
Yes, the tradition continues. A new tool for each project. This is the lowly paint scraper. The edge is not a razor blade but more like a squared-up card scraper. This way if you push or pull it across a surface the 90deg sharp edge will scrap, but not dig in like a razor blade would.
From the "wood finishing" class I took at Lee Valley, the biggest tip I got was that while it is necessary to sand between coats, you don't necessarily need to use sand paper. A scraper like this is good enough between coats to get rid of raised grains or dust specks.
PLease add notes to ID the tools...
All of them recovered from a house that hasn't been lived in for about 40 years
A few years ago we inherited a box of ancient woodworking tools. They had been handed down through various family members but had originally been owned by my wife's uncle who died in the 1960s. I found this little wood plane still in its original case with a set of instructions.

I reworked this with Lightroom and was able to make it come up quite nicely. Shot in late 2006 at Wembley Arena, London, UK
I tend to vacation in mining areas....
Cliffs Shaft Mine, in Ishpeming, was perhaps the most important of all Michigan iron mines. There were a few mines which shipped more ore, but this was the first great Marquette Range mine, and it was an important producer for decades.
Now a museum, and definitely worth the stop. Our guide was a retired Cleveland Cliffs engineer, and most informative. To me, the most interesting thing he said was that he doesn't believe the Negaunee/Ishpeming mines will ever reopen, despite significant remaining deep-underground deposits, because the economics seem unlikely ever to justify the effort. I've heard other opinions from apparently-knowledgable people, but this guy seemed to have impeccable credentials.
