This reminded me of my childhood. I grew up spending every afternoon in my grandpa’s workshop where the sign read “Bud’s saw sharpening” he also did tv and radio repair. It was a fascinating magical place where I could tinker and look through his old Popular Mechanics while he meticulously sharpened chains and various blades on specialized equipment. He had one small room that was packed with vacuum tubes. I would open each box up and marvel at the technology. I can’t imagine how valuable all that stuff would be now.
