Members skipskip Posted January 15, 2020 Members Report Posted January 15, 2020 Good Morning: I am a tool collector, I collect some woodworking , mechanics and agricultural tools. And any that have good "coolness" factor. In the tool world if you find an unknown tool, it is either called a nutcracker, if it has handles, or a leather tool if its sharp. (We are not known for deep insight, nor humor) I hope to actually discover which ones actually ARE leather tools. I'll read a lot and look at the pics, and prolly post a few pics of 'mystery' tools, if it's appropriate. Thanks, from upstate NY Skip Quote

Members Dan Miller Posted January 15, 2020 Members Report Posted January 15, 2020 Hi Skip, I am also a tool collector and user (both wood and leather). I normally live in upstate NY, in the Thousand Islands north of Watertown, though I am in Australia at the moment. Whereabouts in Upstate NY are you? Cheers, Dan Quote

Glad you shared that! I think that is funny as heck, actually! nick Quote Wisdom from an old Missouri farmer, my Grandpa: If it's not sharp, it's not a knife.
