One of my favorite TV shows is NCIS. I’ve installed a virtual Gibbs in my head who is something of a moral guide. I’m currently working on refinishing our patio furniture, and have decided to do everything with hand tools, because that’s the way Gibbs would want it. After all, he did build a boat by hand in his basement.
I’m sure that Gibbs inherited most of his tools, and their rustic look is a patina that was built up with age. My tool set is starting from scratch, but I believe Garrett Wade might be able to help me find tools that will both stand the test of time and look gorgeous.
Here are some of the tools Gibbs and I would like in our workshop:
Measuring:
Cutting:
Drilling & Fastening:
Cleanup:
