A Simple Project's Hand Tools
Yesterday I posted over in Big Stuff -
https://www.woodworkforums.com/f187/s...-stand-134463/
- a simple planter stand that I had made, and during the feedback it occurred to me that I had used a lot of handtools in the project.
I thought it might be interesting to get a picture of them and post it.
This seemed to be the appropriate forum so here we are:

Hi SG, that larger drill is really nice. Is it a Millers Falls?

Yes Peter, it is a Millers Falls - can't remember the model number. Originally Posted by pjr

Love the idea. We often see the raw stock and the beautiful work it's turned into, but rarely the tools used to do so, and that's half the story!
