269944 Norm Wood <normw013@f...> 2020‑02‑15 Mechanics' tools resource
Hi all,

While digging a bit into "Milwaukee Tool and Equipment" (I felt somewhat
obligated, living in the Badger state) I stumbled onto this
time-stealer:

https://toolarchives.com/

and couldn't find it mentioned previously in the archives.  Actually,
based on the dates of the blog posts, it looks like it might be a recent
creation.  It's devoted to histories of the makers of mechanics tools.
It seems nicely done - several of the articles I looked at included
links or references to the historical sources for the information.

What let me there was finding "Milwaukee Tool and Forge" listed in a
directory of Milwaukee tool makers.  There's an article on the company
at toolarchive.com, but it's not clear if it's related to Milwaukee Tool
and Equipment.

Regards,
Norm
   - off to watch some cast iron being poured later today
