Retired hobbyist tool enthusiast

Medically retired a year ago and don't have a lot of spare cash to buy/upgrade my tools. I am becoming better by the day at improvising and just completed a full on traditional leg vise for my outdoor dimensional knotty pine work bench. The weather here is so damned awesome that I decided to forgo the high end work bench and accessories for homemade and low/no cost so if the weather does play hell with any of it I won't be to upset. Love to get constructive criticism and ideas for relatively easy and inexpensive to make tool and other such shop aids for wood working, blacksmithing and general home repair, improvement and storage ideas. Blah, blah, blah.......
