Looks lovely but does it have a purpose?

Good I suppose if you have no trees.

I like the ball pein, and the hatchet. They have a wonderful patina. There’s a story in those tools.
The small ball pein I’ve had for nearly forty years. Used mostly for marking out, the hatchet has been in the family since between the wars.
These are some I have at home. In the last half hour I’ve uncovered another six.
At work I have a locker full of different types acquired over the last forty seven years of swinging them.
I offered to pass them onto apprentices, but they only need one they say. Young uns!

My father spent the last few years of his career being laughed at by apprentices. He had a shopping trolley on which he had mounted a tool box of essentials and another box full of basic service items. His boss often pointed out that Dad‘s way made his life easier and jobs quicker. Dad could go off with his trolley, do the job, and be back sipping his tea while the young ones where running backwards and forwards getting knackered, and working much harder.
Like you say, young uns! They‘ll learn, eventually.
I also tried to offer them a set of vintage Moore & Wright bearing scrapers, given to me by my mentor when he retired in 1978, he was gifted them by his mentor in the 1930s. The apprentices just looked at me lost for words, they didn’t know what they were for.

If Mr Peanut says It's okay, then it is.
My dad gave all his tools and books with measurements etc to a young lad starting in engineering. Since found out he ditched the course and became a driving instructor.
I hope they got passed on to another aspiring engineer

Our garden has a weird optical illusion that makes it seem to go on forever. A mate went AWOL from a party we were having and we eventually found him at the bottom of the garden off his head on mushrooms and having an animated conversation with the parish wall…
