Hello from SW Kansas
« on: January 01, 2014, 05:16:10 PM »
Hello, just found this sight recently and joined.

 I am collector of many things, which I group by saying I collect "mechanical antiquities" which include tools, wrenches, woodworking, automotive related tools, and small air cooled engines the older cast iron ones, along with some other miscellaneous items mixed in. I have recently been expanding and focusing on the tools though. I also in the past couple years took over running the sawmill for the antique tractor and engine club I belong to. I enjoy researching, restoring, make functional agin of many things.

Will share photos when possible.

Welcome, from Nebraska.   Watch it, those old tools may trump some of the others.   Problem with big collections is, our imaginations are bigger than our sheds.   btw, I am the blacksmith at the local tractor and old engine show.

Hi, and welcome from Florida.  Sounds like you'll fit right in.  When you get a chance post some pictures.  We love pictures.

Hi and welcome from Illinois.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
