"DO NOT USE NEAR FIRE OR FLAME." Printed on a torch. Lenk LP Fuel brass blow torch from our Boston years, likely 1950s. Rural King, this is your crowd's kind of tool. What's the oldest tool on your bench? #VintageTools #OldTools #ManufacturingHistory
A vintage brass blow torch sits on a yellow Lenk LP Fuel can on a wooden workbench, with hand tools around it and sunlight through a workshop window behind. The can label reads 'Lenk LP Fuel - fits all Lenk products - Boston 15, Mass.'

This torch cost $2. The year was 1922. The ad said "Insist on the 'Lenk' Torch." We'd hire whoever wrote that. What's the oldest tool you still use? #OldTools #VintageAds

Time never waits. What feels new today may be forgotten tomorrow, resting in some quiet corner.

Experimenting with the platform . Post pics of stuff I’ve made, tag ‘em with everything I can think of, and see if anyone notices.

This is a side hatchet I made last month. It used to hew or whittle rough split wood into shape.

I've been spending some time restoring an old draw-knife I picked up at a flea-market recently. I've been meaning to get one for a while and for less than two bucks this was certainly worth the effort it took to get it cutting again. #tools #restoration #knife #woodworking #fleamarket #oldtools

I sussed this out in the most unlikely of places! An old woodworking machines book came up on vinted and check the front cover!

This machine is the Major Coronet 12 Function Woodwork Lathe. Mystery solved!

I bet only the older generation would recognize this thing, right? What on earth is it actually used for?

Drop it. I'm taking that back to my cave. And YES, to answer his question. Everybody wants to see a big 'ole saw. This belongs with me. Now.
