Twilight Zone: The vent pick
« on: June 09, 2012, 12:33:08 PM »


This is a very weird story.  The other night while sleeping I had a dream that I was working out in my shop.  In my dream I made a vent pick with a wide loop handle.  I awoke from my dream and ran out to the shop to make it before I  forgot what it looked like.  This is it. What do you think?

Awright...I got a forge, anvil, hammers and tongs too, but I do believe that Pete has some miniture elves or some such to make tools and instruments that fine (as in miniature size) that are that fine (as in goll-danged that is purty). I am going to enlarge that picture and check for the teeny-tiny touch marks the little people put on these things they make for Pete.

All in fun. Pete you turn out some mighty fine stuff.

She is a very hot chick our age.  Remember the 1980 movie "The Fog" ?
