It came to me with his toolbox, a fabulous container for all sorts of tools. After he died a lot of his tools went to the apprentices at his firm who couldn't afford to buy their own. You've just roused memories for me,I'm so pleased you posted about your grandfather.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099030819314552958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938165852408357756.post-25670478099940749582010-03-22T08:33:02.087-07:002010-03-22T08:33:02.087-07:00Wonderful that you have the ruler and the pictures...Wonderful that you have the ruler and the pictures.

Of course they didn't know any better....not like today...we wouldn't dream of doing that without power tools now would we?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642967022028132751noreply@blogger.com
