Title: Wrench display at Mercer Museum this coming Saturday, 20 Aug, 2 - 4 P.M.
Post by: Wrenchmensch on August 15, 2011, 12:36:51 PM
I will be displaying a range of unusual wrenches, from the 18th c. to the early 20th c. at the Mercer Museum in Doylestown, PA, 2 - 4 P.M. next Saturday, August 20th.

I will be making the "case" for the role of creativity in the design of each wrench, even though it was always designed, from at least Roman times forward, for a single function: turning a threaded object resting snugly inside/outside another threaded object.

Bob,

I would love to see the display and hear your "case", but its kind of a long trip from California.
Hope all goes well.

I intend to be there as long as the rain holds off. I'll take my camera along too.

Bob, is anything going on before 2PM? When are you setting up? Inside or outside?
Thanks,
Les

Les,

I will be setting up inside. I plan to arrive at 11:00 a.m. and begin setting up shortly after that.

If allowed, pictures of your wrenches and display would be wonderful, as well as of you and Les.
