Well done, Bob!! Fine set of drafting tools.

Thats more than just recognizable.

My grandfather left me a set of drafting tools almost identical to these. Box and all. I never dare use em though but I love to look at em.

Keep em coming. More, more , more...

Great stuff Bob, equal to the skill of the man who made the tools in the first place. Proud to know you my friend.

Wow, aren't you all so nice. Thank you.

Here's an old cigarette lighter I think used to be my Dad's too.

Here's a tool I have that some of you may not know what its purpose is.
Any guesses what it does or what it's called?

Hi Bob,

Very nicely drawn!!!

It's a Solder Suck! I have a couple of them myself, although I haven't actually had to use them for a few years. Don't get much chance to work at the component level on equipment anymore.

For those that don't know, you heat the solder with the soldering iron and use the tool Bob has drawn to draw the molten solder away from the connection you are working on.
