hello everyone tonight

well opened up my chest of tools today--its a monthly thing--to check for rust and to apply a light coating of 3 in 1 oil to the steel blades, today I honed my chisels and plane blades,and as my eyes roved over my tool chest, I couldn't help noticing the wooden box holding my complete set of Irwin hand augers--and my mind went back to the day I purchased them 50 some odd years ago now--paid 15 dollars then--quite a sum of money at that time--almost a weeks wages--I do spend quite a bit of time now in the shop--like my dad before me--

well have to go
