Just and old guy with old toolitis.  Been collecting name brand tools, wrenches and woodworking for some years.  Work on cars fulltime.  Blacksmith when I can.  Ruin perfectly good wood, often.

Greetings and welcome, from Montana. I spent a great couple of years in Nebraska as I remember. It was a long time ago, but I still have some 'folks' there. I went to kindergarten in Butte Nebraska. My grandpa was sheriff of Boyd county for many years around that time.

After doing more reading here I should have included what I do collect.  Auto style wrenches in JH WIlliams&sons, earlier the better, early Bonney, Bemis&Call, Kraeuter tools, mainly their wrenches with the big K, post war Craftsman, Walden Worcester tools, Blackhawk, have a number of Proto, S-K, and newer Bonney.  Working on a collection of Millers Falls, also Goodell&Pratt.  Have a thing about Yankee screwdrivers, and a few other brands have slipped in.  Very little in no.10 condition, but only get the rusty stuff if its rare and fixable.  Go to a good many auctions, house and estate sales and stuff always lands at my feet, usually when I'm parked farthest away.  Thanks for the welcome.
