Also a simple depth gage . We made little air motors also , guess mine got scrapped out or lost over the years .

I still regularly use the tools I made in high school machine trades class in ‘93-‘95.

While I have a number of 50+ year old tools (most from my Father, but some I purchased), the only “tool” I made in HS shop that I have is a miniature anvil pattern, used last year to make this:


Still haven't mounted the pattern & casting on a base.

Made these back in 1978 - 1980 in vocational school in Ohio. Still using them in the shop. Had 2 great instructors that I wish I had paid more attention to .
