Default Old Tools And Memories
Some old tools that were my Dads. I dont use any of them now, but knowing he will have had them in his hands hundreds of times gives me joy. I will keep them 'till the day I die. God bless. PAUL

Dads Tools 1

Cool shot Paul, some interesting subjects nicely arranged.
Did he work with steel?

I love old tools Paul but, for me it would be the memories associated with them. What a treasure! Great shots.

Paul-what a beautiful picture. I cleared out my dad's shed recently and will keep all the tools he loved. I applaud you for this beautiful tribute. Simply lovely.

What a lovely photo Paul, and a fabulous memory. Also reminds me of my granddad's old shed - it was like Beirut in there! But he always knew where to find everything.
