Examples include a hatchet with a homemade handle and sheath that stays behind the seat of the truck and gets used frequently to brush out the rural roads and trails I travel and a bit brace with a countersinking tip that stays permanently in it and hangs on my shop wall for quick one-or-two-hole jobs. To each their own, but I find considerable enjoyment in using and maintaining older tools, and in keeping the knowledge of their use and care alive.
