I still have the same one handed down from my Father.

I was mowing lawns & working part time in a TV shop at 13 to buy
tools. I not only still have some of those tools, but the same work ethic
and would rather repair or build something than buy it.

I still have the tack hammer that I made in 9th grade metal shop. ;-)

I came home from woodshop after the first day and said to Dad
"They have straight nails!"

Back in the day, if I made something from scratch, I had to first
make my own scratch.
