Some old fashioned hand tools
I still use them. Different versions depending on the task, but still widely used these days.

Here's an old tool that you don't see being used too often these days:
I try to use it, but, not always successful.
Whoa what is it?! I've never seen one!

How about this?
Was told it's been sitting in my attic for 30+ years when I moved into my house last year.
Most definitely can tell it lol.

Do you remember this? The boy closest to the tv doubled as the remote.
I doubt these are safe enough for the children of today. How well I remember the lickin I got for burning my name into the side of my dresser with my wood burning iron.
Or melting the nose off of the sister's doll with a magnifying glass.

There are some cottage industries that still work that way. These people take pride in what they do and how well the products are made.
These "independents" are seen by some larger industries as a threat. If you don't go to a big box store to buy a quilt, or a sweater, or maybe an item made of wood, you are hurting the bigger store by not buying their crap.

Do you remember when making coffee was as simple as this?

That's what my mother used.
Being a bit of a coffee snob, that makes me throw up a little in my mouth.
There is no worse way to make coffee.

Those used to leave so much grinds in your coffee. Now use the Keurig for individual taste, and is fast too.
Those things are sinfully wasteful, but would produce a decent cup if they would let you brew your own fresh ground coffee beans. The vacuum sealed, landfill boosting, Chinese packed (no offense), year-old crap for beans they brew do the engineering of the device no justice.
I apologize, but coffee is no joke.
Near as I know, the only perk to a percolator was the aroma that filled the house in the mornings. I miss that but I certainly don't miss the coffee stuck between my teeth.
That, my friend, would be a sight you would not want to witness.
My dancing skills leveled off after the twist, watusi, and the mashed potato. :dancing2:
For those that might be interested in how a proper cup is brewed, the basics are covered here.
If more people demanded good coffee, I wouldn't look like such a douche. Please get picky so I don't look so bad.

That is some neat info. I usually have 1 cup a week on sun morning. That is it for me.
It is my last vice. My only remaining addiction. I don't intend to give this one up
