I have a number of tools and pieces of furniture that I inherited from my grandfather. Most of 50 - 70 years old.
The best one is one he made from the leaf spring off a car he rebuilt for my mom in the 60s. He cut and ground the end and made the best pry bar ever. I’ve had family come to borrow it for home renovations. It wiggles into even tight gaps, does less damage than it seems like it should, and the slight springiness really helps you get those really stubborn nails to gradually pull free.
