I was up to 3 separate tool boxes by 1990, & when my father passed away in '92 I aquired at least a couple more. He also left me some very special hand woodworking tools (he apprenticed as a carpenter back in the late 1920s when there were few power tools avaalible, & he also seemed to be suspicious of them, having seen some fellows alter their fingers in them )...one item I can't let go of despite never finding a use for is a 7 foot long 2-man buck saw...he once had me help him use it to cut down an old tree, & when he thought I wasn't putting enough elbow grease to it he said, "If you're gonna ride, get a saddle!" He later admitted his father had admonished him the same way, so it was kind of passing on a family tradition...if I have any tree cutting or trimming to do now, I don't have the time or energy to do it by hand, when chain saws are so cheap & widely available...although I do share some of Daddy's distrust of anything that can turn ugly on me so fast...
