    Worth picking up a mill/drill?

    Quote. I've dragged lots of machines home and fixed them up that I didn't need and conclude its a mistake. My intent with metal working was model engines. I've barely touched any in a decade as I recondition and fix up old machines, usually that I didn't need but they were cheap. I focused on...

    Made in Canada Grohmann Knives. Is a knife a tool?

    We have 3 Grohmann knives. Usually stop there every time we are out East. There is a great pizza joint just around the corner. I also always come home with a box of Jam Jams. It's a Newfoundland cookie but you can get them in Nova Scotia as well

    Navigating Tariffs Together

    I had to order a 1-11/16” extra length drill a couple weeks ago. Arrived next day. Made in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Great to deal with. Like Gerrit said they employe Canadians who pay taxes. The US A drill was $1700 dollars. The Bosnian drill was $318. With similar quality. I don’t mind...

    Kids ride on wooden train

    I saw an old Keystone tin ride on train at a flea market about 35 years ago.. I couldn’t afford it at the time for my daughter, so I built one out of wood for her at Christmas in 1991. I dug it out of the attic the other day for my grandson to play on. He is only 15 months old but I’m sure he...
