Hello from West Virginia
« on: January 03, 2014, 10:02:14 PM »
Hello. Jabberwoki turned me on to this place during my quest for old Plomb/Proto catalogs and I figured I might as well join up.

I see several names I know from The Garage Gazette and Garage Journal.

I am from the Charleston area of West Virginia. A Railroad Conductor by trade, I  moonlight as a Contributing Editor/Forum Administrator @ http://professional-power-tool-guide.com

I'm a Proto junkie and also dabble in Plomb because to know Proto, you must first know Plomb.

Welcome, Conductor.  Good to have you here.  Stick around and teach us something about both (Plomb and Proto).

Is the 250KB file size limit just because I'm new, or is that permanent?

No, it's a permanent  'feature'

Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
