Yeah, you’re right, I debated but keeping it to my “favorite 5”, some clearly necessary tools had to be on the fringe. Thanks for watching and subbing! 👍😎
What a great concept for a video. I think about this theme all the time as I approach (or are already in) my senior years. While I don't expect any senior living facility to put up with me bringing hand tools to my next to final resting place, I make sure the tools I buy will be tools I pass down to children that will actually use them. Thanks, Tom.
You have a good list. Assuming 5 isn’t a hard and fast rule, I’d also like to have a router hand plane and a plough plane. They are also a ton of fun to use.
Yup, you really need to hang on to that Lie Neilsen low angle block, forever, as they do not seem to be available anymore ... I did find a used one on E-bay for $639.00!!!
Is that true? I just looked on their site and the 60 1/2 is still listed although on back order. That has been a very popular plane for them so I doubt they will not be selling it anymore. www.lie-nielsen.com/products/adjustable-mouth-block-planes-?path=block-planes&node=4072
I’m likely about your age. One thought I’ve had should I need to go into assisted living and space is at a premium. That might be time to get into whittling/carving. Minimal tools and a ton of fun.
Yes, great idea! I actually met an incredible caricature wood carver a few years ago and got so interested I bought his book, the carving knife and glove…I haven’t used it yet but getting ready for the assisted living space!
That title kind of made me sad. I would never think to put tools and assisted living together. It's so important for older folks to feel useful and connected to their life long passions. A lot of us younger dudes don't connect with the fact that we'll be the old guys one day. Great idea for a video.
The other issue with this scenario is if I can not bring my workbench to my assisted living why would I bring tools I need for the workbench? Unless it is just a nostalgia thing? Maybe just holding on to memories? If so, that's ok.
I watched this with somewhat mixed thoughts-very soon now will be 80.
Shalom from Israel.
I’m so surprised that you don’t have 500K subscribers - I really appreciate all your videos. Thank you!
Shocked to not see a chisel here! Just subbed, I enjoyed it!

Tom, love your videos and the way that you present the content. Always good information. Thanks!!
Thank you, I appreciate you watching! 👍😎
SPLENDID SIR
Thank you 👍

I would need a small box of dovetail chisels. Four would do.
And all the sharpening tools to keep them usable. And the bench and vice and clamps.
Oh, and marking out tools.
The bench is used with all 5 tools though... and your sharpening stones... and burnisher... and saw file... and combo square
Yes, lots are actually needed, and lots to choose from but since I had to land on my personal top 5, these are them 👍
I am happy to assume that these more mundane tools will be available in the shared workspace. 😊

I have a few more than 5 on my list but one of them would be that Pentel Graphgear 1000 pencil.
Love your videos Tom !
1) Rasp
2) Drill
3) Hand sander
4) Pull saw
5) Does a Dremel count?
Hi. FYI, non racking vise, HNT Gordon Tools. They also have a neat tail vise. Downside, very expensive. Pro, easy to install.
Какие инструменты я бы взял в дом престарелых:
1. Рубанок № 5
2. Пила Ryoba 240 mm
3. Стамеска 8 мм
4. Коловорот (ручная дрель)
5. Угольник
Super!!!❤
thanks

Never know that Gordon Ramsey do a woodworking so well
Are you saying I remind you of Gordon Ramsey?…that would be a new one! 😎
Havenwood Heritage Heights in Concord NH has 2 woodshops..
That is a fantastic idea for those who still have the facilities!
