Hello everyone! My name is Donnie and I am in my late 50s and new to woodworking and hand tools. I saw a Paul Sellers video just over 2 years ago and it bit me hard. I have been acquiring some vintage tools, my favorite kind and was gifted my Great Uncle’s Vintage set of tools he used as a shipwright. I have restored most everything I have so far. It’s not perfect but it’s fun and the tools are ready to work. I still have heaps to learn!
 
Hey Donnie, welcome! inheriting your great uncle's shipwright tools, that's special and restoring vintage tools is half the fun, and you're in good company here. Don't worry about perfection, just keep at it and ask questions when you need to
