Indeed I do! And I recall having a bit of a vent with the owner that swords (even reproductions) are legal, whereas catapults are apparently not.sundaymorningstaple wrote:In fact, JR8, if you think back hard enough, you will probably remember the display of Katanas by the checkout counter in the window (fakes).
Lol or that sellery brand. I am a tool nut myself with all sort of tools for bicycles and Working round the house. I found quality stuff like facom, Elkind, wiha ESP hex keys where I change my sets every year to ensure sharpness when I do wrench stuff. To be fair most of the good stuff was found at sim lim tower basement. Sin Ming industrial park also have tool shops with quality stuff.sundaymorningstaple wrote:Most of the tools there are made in China and only good for one use, if that.

Learn something new every day!sundaymorningstaple wrote:This is true. But then I guess that why I've got three full sets of tools at home. SAE, Metric and one other oddball one - Whitworth (it wasn't always odd ball and you will understand) . I've got a full set of Whitworth wrenches, taps & dies. (That what happens when you restore your '57 AH 100-6 without doing research first). And that was 35 years ago. All of my tools are Craftsmen except for some specialty tools and my antique set of custom made high carbon steel gouges made by my paternal grandfather some 90+ years ago when he was a Pattern Maker with Bethlehem Steel in Baltimore.

Whitworth taps and dies, makes sense (I've used taps and dies in metalwork classes). Still don't 'get' what's different re: these Whitworth ones, despite a quick skim of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Standard_Whitworth
If you have a moment can you sum it up in say 12 words or less?

So... my very existence is down to the pulling-power of AH cars...
