P&C Hand Forged Tools history website
« on: March 08, 2014, 09:56:00 PM »
Have the website up and running.  Wanted to extend an invitation so anyone interested can check it out.  The page for P&C Under Plumb - Proto is not complete but other pages are done.  Have more planned but decided to "kick the tires and light the fires!" 

If you notice any errors, snafus, glitches or other discombobulations please let me know.  Hope you enjoy all the hard work.  Some really nice pics, especially if you like old cars.  Definitely a joint effort...a lot of people helped to "deliver the baby".  Thanks to everyone for the encouragement.

Well done on the site work, and plenty of good information too. I'm looking forward to the Under Plumb - Proto story.

Awesome stuff!

I have not had time to fully digest the site, but I wanted to express my thanks for the catalogues! Excellent...

If you notice any errors...

Under the section devoted to John N. Peterson, you quote from his letter:

Quote
I wish that I could come home at Christmas and have a little of Mama’s good lutefisk and porridge.

This is an error. There is no such thing as "good" lutefisk.

Urban Dictionary: lutefisk



www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lutefisk‎





Had to go look that up....


Urban Dictionary: lutefisk

Jul 11, 2004 - Food used in Norway to torture children.
Child: "Mommy, I don't want to clean the kitchen!"
Mom: "Do it, or you will have to eat lutefisk again."

No such thing as "good" lutefisk.  :)   How homesick would you have to be to miss your momma's lutefisk?!!   

John talked about moving back to Sweden and tried to talk his parents into moving to Idaho.  To my knowledge the parents never immigrated.

Added a nice 1965 P&C carpentry catalog along with the accompanying price sheet.  Thanks to Jabberwoki for sending that one.

Also on the Patents page I added photo links for the second patent down.  Greg sent some nice pics of that rare old tool.

Norwegians invented ltefisk when they found that the fish floating belly up in the fjords were the easy ones to catch
