Raining outside so I thought I would clean up and hang some of dads things that put a smile on my face. I did find more that I cleaned up but this is what looked good with the blade.

    288lite I particularly like the old spears and auger tribute to your father. The metal one looks particularly well made in the fashion of the best old time spears. Do you happen to know anything of it’s origins?

    Great tribute! I lost my mother this past June and it really sucks, especially with the holidays here.
