Got a few items from my grandfather

Grandpa is 93 and no longer in his home, moved to nursing home. He wanted me to have some of his tools. I'm thinking of hanging this up in the house. And already placed the corn shucker on front porch

Absolutely! Those are great to pass along generationally. I have a similar draw knife. I used to make longbows with it. I have an old hammer and carpenter’s square from one of my grandpas. Very cherished items to me. I’m glad you received those.👍🏼

Yeah I love this stuff. People don't k ow how good they got it with modern tools. Those guys worked there butts off. He had an old 1800s musket but the others in family jumped on it before I even knew

Cool. Nice to have some things like that.
All the best to him too from down under. 👍

Good stuff! That's a corn sheller. If you can find any markings on it I can tell you the age. It probably had a big flywheel with a crank which was replaced with the pulley to be driven by a hit & miss engine.
