Very good idea, its sure to bring us at least a couple potential members.
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.

Good idea, Fred. I changed the counter from hidden to visible to all. Let's see what happens. It is still available to members at the original price.

what was the original price?

you could add more search terms, I dont know if you can add to the title but "king size"  "iron age" "planet jr" "vintage style" etc would be good

You could take the original wood mock up, cut out “papaws”, add a mounting surface where you could put a piece of plasma cut plate with anyone’s name.

The work I do, we make wood tools, run prototypes, and if approved cast them in aluminum. I have to walk into the wood pattern room to pee.

Good idea, Fred.

I lol'd at this. ... Are you sure it's Fred, or his brother Frank?

I'm hoping that mine will generate some questions at this years Florida Flywheelers Tractor shows.  They are very impressive wrenches, and a good value, IMHO.
