A picture of my best wrench
« on: October 16, 2015, 08:58:54 PM »
Today I hung my favorite wrench, below my grandpas old sign. The sign use to hang in my grandpas shop now it overlooks my work area.

I had to do some work the wrench after the fire. Just simply used some steel wool.
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.

I believe it's 36" wide, could be wrong.

I got it as a graduation present from the members of tooltalk. Johnsironsanctuary got them made. Not sure who all has one but I know a few of us do.

Thank you Noel. I still remember the day it showed up. Was such a great gift, and I cherish it.
