I have a LOT of tools, but a special one is a Stanley pry bar from the 1960’s. It was my dad’s. He was an airline pilot (absolutely NOT a carpenter) but somehow I ended up with it. What a tool. Beautiful spring steel. Fine at the edge and “lively,” not like the static/blunt pry bars that are available today. Nothing fancy, but I think of my dad every time I use it, and nothing currently made comes close. Can you get a picture of it? Sounds like something a guy could come across at a garage or estate sale and miss the item for lack of knowing it’s quality. 😎

Mill, lathe, welding machine, cutting torch, in that order. I ain’t much of a wood butcher but I love to make things out of metal.

I picked up a manual log splitter last year when we cleared a bunch of trees and that splitter has made life a lot easier. I split a ton (literally) of firewood with that thing at my cabin and a several day job turned into a several hour job. A motorized splitter would be nicer, but I'm not yet at that level (of laziness or amount of wood to split).

Anything with hydraulics. Whether it's our little tractor or mini excavator. Every tool I have has earned it's worth but I love hydraulics

In no particular order, Bridgeport vertical mill, Monarch or Harding lathe, Brown and Sharpe or Cincinnati horizontal mill, Brown and Sharpe surface grinder, and all the assorted precision tools in my Gerstner chests.

These days, a lathe and milling machine holds about the same fascination for me as a shovel holds for a grave digger.

Biden's most truthful quote ever came during his first press conference, 03/25/21.
Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!

I like hammers. If a hammer can't fix it, you can still take out your frustrations with it.
