I'm a big fan of tools that were built to last. It's hard to find these days, especially with places like Harbor Freight importing super inexpensive tools... Anyway, here are some pics of some great old tools I have accumulated over the years.
First, my drill press. I love this thing - it works great, and looks amazing, with the machine-turned trim.
I also have this ANCIENT Black and Decker valve grinder. One of the motors has been replaced, but otherwise it's just as it was built. I think it's from the '40s.
A valve grinder is great, but you need something to do the seats as well. I have this cool hard seat grinder thatis a little bit newer than the valve grinder. Still works, but I need to buy some new stones for it.
I know some of you out there have stuff that will put mine to shame, post them up!
