driving on errands this morning
thinking about this ridding of the old tools
actually brought tears to my eyes.

I still have my dad's tool & die maker tools.
What will I ever do with thickness gauges,
micrometers, precision squares and triangles,
various indicator, calipers, mill bits, etc etc?
The tools are lovely - like a leica
my dad loved to "jewel" his tools

just a nostalgic old fart

Hi George,

George me old son? :-)   ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT ONE
IOTA!!!!!!!!! I have most of the tools my father used certainly 80 plus
years ago and once in awhile I dig around looking for some wrench or
measuring tool. AND WHAT HAPPENS???? 

I remember some little thing he might have been showing me how to use it
properly. AND? Well me? I shed a tear of remembrance of a real good father
... AND A GREAT DAD! :-)
Keep on with the nostalgia! No harm with it at all!! :-)

cheers,
ted
