    A tiny little tool gloat

    Went to an antique show in Madison today, just to see what little treasures, if any, we might find. Well, when I saw this, I just couldn't leave it behind . . .

    Hi Erin,

    That is what my grandfather called it anyway.

    Very nice score. I'm sure it will come in handy.

    Yep -

    I heard it called the same thing.

    Way cool tool, Erin. Looks like it would be very useful in an apron pocket when surfacing a bunch of wood.

    Good score,
    Ted

    Erin, those are handy! I've got one, albeit a much newer version and not nearly as nostalgic. Quite useful.
    Cheers,

    It's adorable!

    What's it want to be when it grows up?

    condition where the size of his public is almost in
    inverse proportion to the quality of his work."

    I guess my public must be pretty huge then.
