My Jewel Grandpa’s Windsor Beader

By Soule, member

WINDSOR BEADER

After my mother passed away I found this old Windsor Beader. It  belonged to my grandfather who passed away long ago. It took some work and time to clean it up enough just to get it  apart and then clean it more. I am new to woodworking and have found an untapped ability I inherited from my grandfather and his father. I love using the old tools though I admit I use the modern ones more. This tool is special because of my Grandpa’s.
