Consider labeling your gages, jigs, fixtures, etc., and at least initialing them
if not actually signing them.

I have a wooden contraption with moving parts and a lever.  I THINK my father
got it from his uncle Charlie, who had been a piano maker. And, I THINK it's a
device for putting the felt on piano hammers.  I would rather KNOW...with
certainty.

The Younger you are, the more likely that you'll live long enough to forget the
function of some of your labor-saving concoctions.  Think ahead.

Who wishes he'd labeled more of his father's tools.
