Tool Restoration

[BLIP]

I have been dabbling restoring tool for a long time now... everything from screwdrivers too old vices, saws, and mostly woodworking tools.
I ran into this old Stanley defiant 1244 that was in overall good condition but had a lot of surface rust and just needs a good makeover.
Next is the Dunlop.

You do nice work. I have one that looks almost exactly like that Stanley.
Have some old antique tools that I have acquired over the years. I am thinking about selling all of them but have no idea of their value.

Well done. I don't have the patience (or is it the time? Or both?)

Nice. Real tools, not China crap.

There's nothing like using a perfectly tuned hand plane, good job on the resto.

Some of them are worth quite a bit, in a way they are like classic firearms, condition, rarity, brand and are they still relevant for modern work.

Veritas, Bailey, some of the old Stanley's just to name a few.
