Jan 04: Hobby/Craft

I could not wait to get my bits out and todays words gave me a good reason.

This was my granddad's drill (see detail on Dec 22) and it came complete with all his original lathe attachments and original Wolf turning tools.

I can't wait to get started and I am sure Mrs B doesn't mind me using the dining room table as a work bench.

I had to buy the book: http://365project.org/bulldog/365-additions/2014-01-04
Some neat looking tools there. My husband would like seeing this.

What an awesome heirloom - and I'll bet it will outlast it's modern equivalent! A very interesting composition too.

Ooh !! a tricky one there Bulldog -- I should not like to be in your shoes if you intend to use the dining room table as a bench !!
A nice collection of woodwork tools and brings me happy memories of my father who spent many an hour in his work shop , and as a child I would be given a hand drill with a large sized bit so I could gouge out circle from a piece of wood he would put in a vice for me !! Hope your woodwork is more advanced than that !! lol

Fabulous shot - and how wonderful that you have your grandad's drill. My hubby has a few of his grandfathers tools and they are treasured.

You've go t a nice set of tools there. But don't do what my dad did - he drilled a hole in the new dining table ! I did some leather punching on the kitchen table before christmas (for the man bag) and I've now got 3 rows of tiny holes where the bradawl went through the pad i was working on whoops!
