New boy on the block
« on: June 27, 2016, 07:00:55 AM »
Hi folks I am from across the pond in UK. Retired and love collecting. Just getting into vintage tools so not sure which direction to go. Have a small collection of hand drills mostly British made stuff. Glad to be on board.

 hello Aguero54,  welcome to tool talk, the place where you meet folks from all around the world.

 they have a great variety of tools.

 I hope that you enjoy your retirement.  all tools are interesting.

 as for which direction to go ?  let your eyes and heart take you in the right direction.  you will know it when you see a certain tool.
 if it makes you take extra looks at it, it may be telling you that it wants to follow you home.

Good to have you with us!  Guys this side of the pond like Snail brand tools. They should be easy for you to find.

Hi, and welcome from Florida. This forum has a great bunch of folks who are more than willing to share their knowledge.

When you get time post up some pictures, we like pictures.  Be aware of the size limits on pictures or they won't load.
