    The handles look generic. Some of the tools look like leather working or carving of some sort. They could be for almost anything really. I purchased a box of jewelers items of Kijiji a few years ago and most of the tooling was hand made for one purpose or another. Some of the handles were...

    Homemade scotchbrite bench grinder wheels?

    I have done this. It did work some. I found if your pushing into the wheel the pads separate. I did buy a medium grit 6" scotchbrite wheel and I will never go back. I lost some knuckle skin a few times before it sunk in. Now I'm more careful of how I use it.
