Big Barn’s Retirement Farm Shop

Oh, man, I'm cringing at the way the micrometers are being used in the display. Having been reliant on them for my income it's driving me nuts seeing them propping up a tool box lid and hanging of the side of the box like that. My micrometers were always set on some sort of padding, even if it was just a folded rag. I'm sure those tools are no longer used in the capacity that I had used mine so it's not a big deal, but my inner tool maker is kicking in...

Otherwise that display is nice! That 0-4" micrometer is interesting. I've seen those before, but I've never used one. It seems like it would be a bit impractical for 0-1" use, but it would sure save someone some money on buying the 1-2", 2-3" and 3-4" units separately.

Probably a tank valve wrench for compressed gases.

Although I'm interested,,,, I'm not going to go back and read all the posts I've missed over the past 8-10 months. I'll save that for them nasty cold days ahead. Good to see the thread still moving along Terry!!!

Nice. Is there a "Big Wrench" art project in the making?

As usual a TON of epiphanies ("I'm a friggin' genius").

Followed by a day of reality and declaring what the eff was I thinking ?????

Mr. Ovrszd, honestly, earlier this week I was thinking of you as I hadn't read any posts from you in a long while!

Good to see you back...

Thanks for your concern. Not sure about the sane part. I've got some very good friends here on TBN that might dispute that.
