Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I have a number of tools and pieces of furniture that I inherited from my grandfather. Most of 50 - 70 years old.

The best one is one he made from the leaf spring off a car he rebuilt for my mom in the 60s. He cut and ground the end and made the best pry bar ever. I've had family come to borrow it for home renovations. It wiggles into even tight gaps, does less damage than it seems like it should, and the slight springiness really helps you get those really stubborn nails to gradually pull free.
