G'day everyone.
Just sitting here in the rain, surfing the net while the towers are still working.
How many of you tend to make or remake tools to get the job done
e.g bending a 3/8" open end spanner to get the mirrors of a mid 70's Ford.
Left handed screw driver
metric spirit level bubbles to update your old level.
I came across a site about Henry Hoke, a (fictitious) in venter from outback Australia. I started to wonder who came up with some of these things like the rope hammer, has merits but you can just imagine the accidents from it, like missing the nail and hitting yourself with it. OR the manual chain saw range?
I would recommend a quick look.
Background... I am a Tool Maker by trade and it was very entertaining.
