Here are some of my favorite tools. Not necessarily the best or prettiest, but the ones I go to most often. Many are antique, and many home made.

James, there are some treasures. I aim to build a tumbler mill someday. Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your posts on traditional gun work.

Some of my favorite tools. Some are users, and some I just enjoy.
Bullet cherries, a couple unusual spoon bits (flat tang), and a depth gage.
Some tools stamped “J.P. Willey”. He was a gunsmith from Maine. Unknown timeframe, but very cool tools. I found these all at once and have never found others.
A close-up:
Screw plates. The two smaller ones are probably watchmaker tools.
Chisels purchased together as a gunmakers set. I really like octagonal handles. I use them all the time.
Another set of tools from a gunmaker. This set is more modern, with mostly Swedish tools. I bought them all together and want to keep them that way.
