Is that a 36 inch crescent wrench in the upper right corner of the first 2 pics? I'm impressed! What do they use it on?

Deb, haven't a clue. This shop has been around for a while and through a few owners. The current owner and all of the employees except John are in their 20s, so my husband (who is 58) is frequently used as the museum curator. Something will be unearthed from the bowels of the shop and he'll be asked what it is. The last thing was some Torquemada-like device that was for replacing the springs in old sprung saddles.

An old tool from my shop days in the 70s that I would LOVE to find again is a wooden cotter pin puller. It had 2 foot long lever arms and a screw-adjusted jaw width. Wasn't a cotter pin that thing couldn't pull. It was given to us by our Motobecane salesman Jean-Jacques. Not sure if it was ever widely available. Keep your eyes out for that, SK.

Yeah, what she said. What more can I say? You are sooooo very talented. Before we know it, you'll be saving up for a bulk steel... Originally Posted by maillotpois
