 I bow to the Master mini-wrench maker, well done.

 now you should stamp the date on it, and a 100 years from
 now, collectors will be trying to find out what company made it.

 that is a wrench of every collectors dream, well done Art.

 I will still look for ads of the original,  Frank

Wow!  Are you sure you don't have a crew of Leprechauns working for you?

Thanks, Gents.  I really do appreciate your thoughts.  The second rendition is almost done.  It became necessary to build another when I discovered that it was not quite exactly like the full scale model in that the diagonal jaw is not offset from the centerline, and the handle has four twists rather than the original three.  Well, got to go feed the Leprechauns and try to get some work done.  Will post version two soon.   Ralph

That's OK, Frank.  I just now realized than your name is not "turnnut".  :)   Some of my friends call me Art.  I will respond to either Ralph or Art, and I have been called many other names, some of which are not so graceful.    Ralph

Well, it's done.  This one is more like it ( the original posted ). 





Both together.  I've decided to leave the second one in its polishes silver state.








Thanks, Paraw for the idea and for letting me ride along on your string.   Ralph
