Tools for building

[flatcreek]

If your planning on building a rifle this tool set from Harbor Freight is great. I never find much at HF I'm Happy with, but this I am. https://www.harborfreight.com/6-pie...-set-94447.html?_br_psugg_q=measuring+devices

That will work to start out. I used to find neat old tools at sales and antique malls, but they have been priced too high lately.

Nothing I like better than a great old tool from a yard sale or such at a great price. Sadly those great price have come far and few between since our covid debacle.
Happy Easter

The people who are selling "old tools" have found that they are worth more to us "older farts" than new tools. The new tools are not made to the same standards as the old stuff were made. That $1.00 chisel that was at the flea market last week is now an antique and is now selling for $25.00.

Priced at $25 maybe but not selling at that price. It's like how ebay killed antique stores, sure it might be rare to someone who knows what it is. However the chance of that person walking into the store and willing to pay that is miniscule.

The market that antique stores are putting high prices on doesn't have a clue what those tools are used for.
