TOOLS
People ask me about the tools I have and use. I have not went out of my way for any specific items or item.
This collection has been built up over the years from all sort of sources. The lathes and the miller/drill once belonged to old model engineers who have left us probably for a better place ! Spanners, hammers etc were browsing car boot sales and motorcycle shows. First picture below shows a cheap set of very large ring spanners ( rarely used ).
