    I found some of these tools and I was wondering what they were called, how do you use and sharpen them!

Maybe some of the old timers can help with this!

Those are very cool

That's incredible. Imagine trying to build anything with those, hell, imagine having to support your family with those tools. Our forebears must have been some pretty tough customers.

Scary is the word Kiwi.

A couple of those look like predecessors to speedbore bits.

Good one Billy. JBreault39043.3957175926

I know three are head knockers. A couple are used to scrape hides. I will have to show some pictures some time of the maze grinding bowls that were uncovered by a flood on my Grandfathers ranch in the 60s. A lot of arrow and lance heads as well.

Oh Man Rod!!! Don't EVEN joke like that!!

     I figured these must be all battery operated There's no place for cords, though, either way!


The old timers must of had problems with them too!


Funny! After posting this, I've been thinking, how could you get anything done with these! I'm even looking at screw drivers like... NIIIICE WORK!!
I guess things do get better! Billy T39043.540474537
