>>315266Yes, somewhat recently, but it was more of a hobbyist project, where I built a miniature hangar for a couple of aircraft model kits that I bought. Right nnow, I am working on a radio-controlled aircraft, which so far I have used my 30 year-old X-Acto knife and my 50 year-old pliers on.
When I am done with Uni, I will probably be moving out and once I do that, I hope to build my own furniture from scrap wood and stuff like old doors. The thing is, the only power tool that I have is a Dremel, which is 30 years old (I would not call my 30 year old soldering iron a power tool in the same sense).
I restored a pair of hemostats that I found in a park. God knows why they were there (maybe drug paraphernalia, as I have seen some drug dealing happen in that park, which I reported the the authorities). They work well now, but I still need to work on getting them unstuck.
>>315289Most of them have been well kept and are fairly high quality brands, like King Dick, Sears Craftsman, Peterson-Dewitt and Heart Brand (Wynn, Timmins & Co. Ltd.). The aforementioned hemostats might be worth treating with this stuff.
