The Long Road Home - Dad's Old Cabinet Bench
A few weeks ago I traveled back east for Memorial Day and to bring home some of my Dad's things from his old shop. His cabinet bench is a real treasure to me and its nice to have it here in my shop now.

What are your prized treasures that have been handed down from that special person who started you on the woodworking path?

Re: The Long Road Home - Dad's Old Cabinet Bench
That was a really great read. Sounds like you shared some great times with your father.

Beautiful story.
My father was not a woodworker (although he was a very 'hands-on' man, being a farmer in his early days) but was handed down some hand tools from my grandfather, and these i proudly use and have on show on my wall.
These include some chisels, a bit & brace, a wooden mallet, planes and hand saws among various other tools. They too are a bit roughed up through many years of use but the condition is of no consequence, its the sentimental value that is important and imeasurable.
I hope to pass these on to my son wether he shows an interest in woodworking or not.
