I remember my Grandpa telling me he walked to a one room school house, bare footed, in the snow and uphill both ways. He musta went to the same school as my Grandpa lol.

I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

Members kiwican Posted January 25, 2020 Members Report Posted January 25, 2020 I love hearing these stories. People with nothing. Yet with everything that matters. My grandfather crossed Canada by train car at age 12. Faught in ww2. Same as all from that generation. Never threw anything out. My dad was the same way. Seemed to be able to make and fix anything. And usually make and fix it out of nothing!. Quote
Members Vikefan Posted January 25, 2020 Members Report Posted January 25, 2020 Man, I would love to have something like that myself! Great find! Vikefan Quote

Vikefan It was one of those "I wasn't looking for a stitching horse" I walked past it and said to myself NO leave it alone, it's to far gone. Next thing I know I am at the counter haggling with the guy. SMH LOL Quote "It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." - Rocky Balboa
Members Vikefan Posted January 25, 2020 Members Report Posted January 25, 2020 I am a guy that likes to re-purpose stuff, especially if it can be used again, in a new life doing the same work or similar work. I like antiques too! Quote
Members Scoutmom103 Posted January 26, 2020 Members Report Posted January 26, 2020 I like to see things restored/repurposed. We have become such a throw away society, and quality has decreased. Our landfills are overflowing. New and shiny isn't necessarily better. Quote
