Yes, I use antique tools from about 100yrs ago and older. Some are from my great great grandfather, John Matthew Peacock Mortimer. He was a cabinet maker in Cincinnati Ohio during the Civil War. Production is slow, but it’s fun!
I’ll have to consider a post about woodworking. My favorite piece is the end table at the end of our sofa. My biggest job was all new hardwood molding around the wainscoting of my old house. (and some other places as well) The house was made in 1847, and it seemed appropriate. I made all the edges with a rabbet plane, a round and two handmade scratch stocks. My latest was a prop rifle for my daughter to use with her cosplay costume.
