I had no idea that I really needed that welder! Now that I know...
Did you just give me a new hobby?

A glue gun for guys - gotta love it!! (Would have nearly killed for one 45 years ago in HS when I was under a klunker doing repairs nearly every day of the summer, but back then you couldn't go to the local Hazzard Fraught or Home Despot and buy one...)

It sure looks an awful lot like my drill presss!

My favorite tool is my level. It’s the only one I can use with confidence. Every other tool is an adventure.

I’m in the process of making some cushions myself for a VW Vanagon camper build.
