Hello To All!
« on: January 09, 2015, 11:45:04 AM »
Greetings!!

My name is Rick Houghton I live on the island of Oahu in Hawaii.

I'm an old retired Vet who is just plain nutz about tools. Any tool, good or bad, big or small.  How they were built. How long they lasted. Who made them. How old they are. Where is the tool world going and how that direction is different from the past.

So...  Greetings and Salutations to all and to the site team that keeps this site up, safe, fun and inspiring to all who venture thru the doorway of tools.

Thanks to all for the warmest of greetings!

Not sure i can stump anyone here.  You know what they say. "never try to test  pops, he'll always spank ya".

I'm pretty new to old tool collection. I love tools especially old tools. Just starting to learn about them. Spent most my life using and taking care of them.  Now that i'm older and have only a couple BB's up there i decided to put the lonesome BB on an exercise plan of learning.  I got my ears all perked and primed to learn from the masters.

As for needing snow... hmm, lemme think on that for a day or four. Oh wait it might melt before i decide. ;)

I do gotta warn y'all I've been know to mistype misspell mistake and often miss the toilet bowl. Thought i'd toss that out there from the git go. I'm harmless as all get out.

One thing is a given.  I may have an opinion on just about anything. But always with respect.  Nothing ever bad intended.  I know i got an opinion because i just know I have to have one.  But I'm old and fat and I can't reach around back anymore to see if it's still there. So I'm flying on an ASSumption.

I'll be uploading some pics here shortly. I hang around in Garage Gazette a lot. Sure are some really great people there. But i hope to share time with both and that that is OK with y'all.

Uncle Buck and a few others said i should give you all a holler about a problem i been having trying to locate a 13mm-15mm DBE combo Craftsman wrench. Seems it isn't available much anymore. Not sure how i lost mine. Like i say, I'm old, feeble minded (don't tell my wife i said that, she's been trying to prove that for decades), forgetful and I fart a lot. Wrench probably ran for the hills after last Turkey Day feast.

Welcome to ya from Denver, Colorado!

That's pretty far from any oceans, or any large bodies of water, for that matter.

So a little jealous here, even though I usually brag about being here.

This is a good place to be. Even my dumb questions are answered in a nuce way.

Welcome from Illinois
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Howdy from Arkansas.  I'm certain you'll find that wrench, in the form you're looking for, at a good price.   Welcome!
