UNDER CONSTRUCTION!! Please bear with me as I construct this lens. Eventually, I would like for this lens to become a great reference site for anyone who owns, collects, restores, or uses old tools. I'm a newbie to the world of vintage and antique tools having only recently inherited a few old tools that were in my late grandfather's shop. As I research the topics related to identifying, restoring, and using these old tools, I'll post the info here for others interested in learning more about the restoration, care, and use of old tools.
