    I have a small collection of tool that I would call my favorites.
    They are mostly hand made hand tools. They belonged to my father,
    brother and others that are no longer with us. 

    Left for trash when worldly goods were divided up. Worn gravers,
    Agate burnisher, Gages, Punches made from files, a beautiful little
    hammer with broken shaft. Found in rusty piles, swept into corners.
    So as a gesture of respect I pick them up, gems in the rust, clean
    and restore them to there original intent. You can tell a lot about a
    person by the tool they make. 

    I show them to my children, tell them stories the people they
    belonged to, show them how they are used and hope they too will find
    gems in the rust. 

Mark
