Tony, I see it differently. The grinder is a tool, an inanimate object. I am sorry to say that it is not the fault of the grinder.
After an old friend died, his family ran an auction. I made the highest bids on some of his tools, a lot of which were named.
Now when I use those tools, I remember my old friend. I like it that way.

Default What can i say

Hi Guys

I don't have all the full listing of what is going for sale. I know I won't be attending. I recall seeing the grinder on the ground next to the Beaver Tail truck, the funeral was enough for me as Bob and I go back 30+ years when we were both working in another life.

I don't know what is happening to his project vehicles but I believe the half track is currently in the museum but is I believe for sale, I did hear a rumour that a couple of the project Blitz 1500cwt have moved on, but I can't confirm that as accurate. I don't think to many of the military restorer fraternity will be attending.:

Cheers

Tony

I use my grandmothers screwdrivers for the same reason.
