Looks like you had a great time at the tool show. I admit that I am surprised that you didn't pick up at least one skein of rope off that pile on the tarp. I do admire your strength of spirit and restraint in the face of so many old tools at such reasonable prices. I was so happy to see you pick up a hammer and punch to fix the Mercedes wrench instead of using the grinder or file. Many of these little dings can be moved back into place without taking off any material. Looking forward to the restoration of the Estwing Hammer. The metal handle is much more appropriate for use in a finishing hammer than the heavier framing hammer.
