121258 "Jim Ketcheson" <jim.ketcheson@s...> 2003‑08‑27 Back Again
I have been away for some months now and recently felt well enough to
resubscribe to Old Tools. I looked at my bio from 5 years ago and there have
been some changes made. I am now 85 instead of 80 - I no longer have a wood
shop having moved everything to my son's shop where he is starting a wood
working business. I have retained only my metal working tools. About an hour
a day is all I can handle in the shop but that is a start back. Open heart
surgery and then later a pacemaker and then the rehab is what kept me away.
I have just found ( at a yard sale) a rule made by the Lufkin Rule Co. of
Saginaw, Mich. the like of which I have never seen. It is 2 foot long and
has a real curve throughout it's length. The Number on it is 8151 and is
stamped made in U.S.A. The only info I can find on the web is that Lufkin
were bought out by the Cooper Group. Does anyone have a catalogue that shows
the Rule # 8151 and if so would you let me know what this is for?
I have really enjoyed being part of this group and just want a rocking chair
in a back corner where I can hear the gossip.
Thanks for all the good times I have had reading the postings.
