Thank you all! - send me your signatures

I just wanted to give an extra massive thank you to all the patrons that helped make the drag saw restoration possible.  It was expensive! haha

This tool needed SO MUCH work.

SCREWDRIVERS!

Remember when we talked about these being made when we weren't all physically distancing? Me neither. 

These have been in the works for a long time now and I am getting closer to finishing the design.  

I do not yet know what exact type of steel for the body, or wood for the handles, or cost/price, but a...

Bonjour!  

I have decided to make ~50 "Reverse" Mini Wrenches for no real reason other than they need to exist.  Can you use it as a wrench? Not really!  Does that matter? You tell me.  This is definitely more of a "Collector's Item" than the usual wrenches.

You all will get first access to pic...
