serendipity happens once again.
In the alley culture of the garage I use for a shop, there lives across the
alley a stone mason. Trained in traditional stone masonry, gargoyles and all
that stuff. He gets his tools from England when he goes to visit family.
He know’s I’m a garage saler, and asked me to keep an eye open for stone masons
tools, which, as the seridipity note implies, happened today.
The vintage tools I posted a few days ago, well, the fella dug out a box of
stone masons tools that I found when I revisited him today And he had indeed
found a box of stone masons tools. Most of which are incomprehsible to me, but I
can tell broken tools so I avoided them...only picked up a few which looked
intact and relatively sharp.
Waiting for stonemason alley-buddy to take a look at them, maybe learn something
along the way.
The listserve axiom is that if they ain’t wwing tools, they must be
leatherworking tools, to which might be added a corollary (?#1)....if they aint
wwing tools, or leather, they could be stone masons tool!!!.
