For years I have been on a hunt for old antique tools wherever I find them, usually at garage sales for a few bucks. I feel like I'm doing a good deed by collecting them and preserving a little bit of history that would otherwise be discarded and gone forever.
A collection can be mounted, displayed, and photographed. Here is a portion of my backyard fence which you will probably have to view in download to appreciate the various tools and below that, those same tools used in a still life.
A great collection of old tools. They deserve to be collected and displayed.
What a great idea. I love it.

I've used most of those when growing up.
Quite a collection on the fence in nice combination with the flowers - and an attractive still life array as well!
Nice, I have seen a few of those over the years, mostly in my Grandfather's old barn up in the mountains.

I love these...I have a collection on a shed!!!
That is so cool - love the fence shot!!
Nice photos of your collection--I have a number of those critters lying around in my storage garage and my barn.
They sure made for great subjects and I like how you have used them in photos and decorating your fence. Your colorful flowers aren't bad either!!
Very interesting collection of old tools. Even more amazing, I have personally used a number of these tools as a youngster.
