Papaw's Big Wrench
« on: March 20, 2013, 02:48:26 PM »
I can finally quote a price for the big aluminum Papaw's wrench. $90 + Shipping. Shipping will be different depending on how far away you are. My zip is 53012 and shipping one to Alvin Tx is about $18. It weighs 15 lbs packed. Let me know if anyone besides Mikeswrenches is interested. I have to use Papaw's as a pattern. The foundry won't use the wood pattern again. I am going to ship them as rough castings. They will need to be filed at the parting line. PM me if you want one.

Thats cheap or at least a very fair price
Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

Yep, that's a pretty good price for what you are getting.

HMMM, not much interest out there. I know that it is pricey and, as 1930 pointed out, most of us have to spread the peanut butter pretty thin.  I can't go back to the foundry for just one more and, if I want more, I have to use Papaw's as a pattern. If any of you are interested, just not right now, I can maybe work something out for you. Just let me know. I'm feeling like I should be shipping it to Papaw because this is a birthday gift and his b'day was in December.

I'd love to have one.  Put me in, but only if it helps you justify/warrant the effort and doesn't further hinder your efforts.
