Hi,
I'm John Secord from Cedarburg WI.  I have been a toolaholic for a long long time. My basement shop is over full and so is my garage.  No specific interest, but a home machinist and woodworker.  I enjoy researching whatsits. I now live in a small side by side, but when I had a big barn and shop, I liked auctions and wound up keeping some old tools and Ebaying others. I am about 2/3 done restoring a 1931 Model A Ford in my garage. I have owned it for 48 years and it was time for a full restoration.

Welcome from Ohio.  It would be cool to see some pictures of your Model A.  ( A large part of my wrench collection is old Ford wrenches)

Thanks for all the welcomes!  I feel at home already. 

BRwrench asked for Model A photos so here goes.

Two are recent and one is before I took it apart. The recent ones are the day that I got the rebuilt engine running.

thanks again.
