Ten Antique Tools Repurposed for Modern Day Use
I like the old tools... don't have room to display / use them in the house, except the old radio which is a stand for my office TV. Do have an small old switchboard and plugs that I'd like to use for a key holder, but need someone to build it into some sort of frame I can hang it up with.
In any case, asked the AI to give me ten of these. And realized we also have an old clay sauerkraut pot we use as an umbrella holder. Oh, and an old Victrola that the wife stacks some of her stuffed animals on...
