It's brilliant that you not only have tools your Dad used. But that he also made. My daughter is not a woodworker, but is very creative. She set about transforming some furniture, and I could see she could use some tools for the job. So, I selected some of my tools - made it simple for her, as it can be overwhelming for her, I was happy to pass on tools. But I had no idea how happy she was, rather than buying new tools. I also have tools handed down by my step father's father. I'm planning on giving some tools to my grandson too. I'll wait for him to get a grasp of a bicycle first though. He just 16 months old, but an explorer. So, we'll have 5 generations of tools. I love these tools you have from your Father. Love the video on the No.4 planes too. Very interesting. I only buy used tools as there's so much joy in them. Still buying at 66. May you live forever. Talking of numbers - Numbers 6.24 - 26 Many thanks for sharing these treasures.
All I have to say Mr. Spier is a father couldn't wish for anything more than his children to cherish something he made and be successful. I can only hope my children will do the same! It was a great video and story. You sir are a very honorable man.
What a wonderful video! My son is just now discovering woodworking (he is a professional musician), and I hope that someday he will find stuff of mine as warming and useful as you have found your Dad's to be.
This is nice! Thank you for sharing with us. My father was a hardwood flooring mechanic. I worked with him laying gymnasium floors. As with you, I lost my father just shy of his 63rd birthday. I have his tools on a wall in my shop. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this. There is nothing wrong with being sentimental about these memories of your parents. I am at the age when my thoughts wander more and more often to what I will leave to my children and grandchildren, and my nieces and nephews. For me it won’t be such fine handiwork, but I hope that what I do leave will be cherished as you cherish the items you shared with us.
@@lenlevine7146 thank you, so much, for the kind,and commiserate words. This year has been a trying one as far as my health is concerned and it makes it more relevant as to my legacy as well as my parents. I have a greater concern that they will not be forgotten and am doing my part to share their history with the world. Thank you for watching and the comments.
Wonderful recollection of your dad. I enjoyed it immensely. As I was watching I was thinking of my dad and his life in electronics fixing radios and TVs. Writing a book about these days in your life might prove to be worthwhile. Thanks Chet.
When we remember and speak their name, our ancestors never leave us. I wonder what my boys will hang onto of all my tools. I would connect with family now as we age time flies.
I'm a little like that, when I realize I can do it and it's going to turn out great I start to lose interest but I really try to press thru and finish though..........I got a kick out of the thimble idea, I might even use that myself one day.

Amazing!
Very nice video, thank you for sharing. My father was born in 1923 and had some of the same traits.

Nice! The plane looks awesome - is it more of a scrub plane?
