Latest board of farm wrenchs
« on: May 03, 2013, 11:33:21 PM »
Here's my board I finished up tonight. 90 in all on this one. Highlights on this one include a Robinson spreader co and 3 G.A. KELLY wrenchs.

I'm not educated in farm wrenches enough to appreciate those displayed, but I will certainly take my hat off to the display itself.  Very nice job, Carl.

Oily's comments +1!   

90 pieces. Hmmmm, do you use a crane or a floor jack to move it? Very nice display board. Awesome collection.

Is there any way to light your photos a little brighter? The brown Masonite really sucks all the light out of your flash.

My little camera has a 'Best Shot' setting. It uses a slower speed setting, larger opening and no flash. I find it to works better indoors than the flash setting. Just adding some extra light will help too.

Papaw may have some advice too. He is a waaay better photographer than I am.

Two people can pick it up and move easy enough. I was in a hurry when I took the pictures. Ill try to get some better ones this week. Thanks for the kind words.

Try opening up by using a larger F-stop (smaller number), and no flash. If you can - set the "White Balance" on your camera to match the room lighting.
Minor tweaking-

When  I started wrench collecting in the last century, I painted my peg board white.  The display was located in dark basement, and the white peg board lightened things up a lot.  Then I discovered they already sell white-painted peg board. After buying several sheets of white peg board, I ran out of usable basement wall space.  Now I'm selling excess wrenches cheap on e-bay.  That's my story.

Very nice an well put together display.
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.
