Probably the nicest small pair of pliers/ side cutters that I own. Spring loaded, with a wonderfully light action. 'Kaytule' brand......made by J.S. Key and Co., in Birmingham UK. Late '30s/early '40s, perhaps?
My old dad had numerous versions of USA made Bernard branded parallel jawed pliers. I've still got this 5.5inch pair and maybe a larger pair, maybe 7 inch, somewhere. I can't remember what the functions of them all were, but he was always pernickety about using the correct tool for the job. I remember being in disgrace as a young lad for using a big screwdriver to stir paint...

I don't know the date of these, but I remember them being around in the 50s.

Texas, Louisiana, Texas again
Mt Rushmore is something everyone in America should see at least once. I know it defaced a mountain, but it is there now.
See it before the unthinkable happens. And take your kids and grandchildren.
I don't feel so self conscious now about posting so many pics of Flash, Ava, and now Buddy.
My twelve feet of family!
With my granddaughter at a falconry display today. I''ve seen barn owls in the wild, but not close up at one of these shows and was amazed by the silent flight and incredible detail on the plumage.

Owls are my favorite bird.
My daughter is painting her apartment

Don't know where she gets her sense of humor from 🤔

It just occurred to me that she took the picture at the end of the day, meaning she slept there with that on the wall 🫣
That is absolutely hilarious to me. I used to whisper that to my first wife sometimes, or write it on the bathroom mirror with soapstone or a China marker, her lipstick, whatever.

It would instantly make her want to redruM me!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

My kid is an amateur artist and was painting the apartment with her best buddy, who is a professional artist. They're both totally sweet, gentle people, who love this macabre stuff. I can set how they actually spent a lot of time on that thing, getting it as grisly as they can 😅
