New to the forum from California
« on: November 17, 2013, 02:49:48 PM »
Hello All!

I found this forum by accident when I was looking for some info on wrenches. I've been a tool/gadget/knife collector most of my life. I've always enjoyed quality tools and the history of nice old American made tools.

I spent 15 years in the hardware/lumber business and 5 years as a manager of a very busy hardware/tool store. I'm basically retired now but I keep plenty busy. :)

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to my time here and I hope to learn as much as possible and maybe even share a little of what I know.

Thanks for having me...

John
