My cheap wire strippers...

Bob, the wire strippers may be cheap, but that is a first class drawing of them

So now your a stripper Bob. First class picture, I hope you have a big tool case and never run out of tools to draw

Just what I need for cutting a big juicy sirloin steak, Lionel.

Thanks guys. Yes, Pauland, it IS a ball joint splitter, aka pickle bar.

OK... here is another "tool" that used to be my Dad's. It appears to me to be some type of drawing pen. It has an EXTREMELY fine tip. Look at how it is made. Perhaps someone can tell me its name and function.

Eighteenth century tool of war.

Bob, I wonder if that pen was used in conjunction with stencils ? It is very like a tool used by our draughtsmen where I used to work in the hydrology dept. Beautifully drawn as usual.

Bob, I've no idea what it is called but it is drawn very well. I believe as Norm said it is/was used with stencils.

Nice looking cannon, Chuck. Maybe make it look a bit weathered and used.
