In Reply to: Dad's Tools... posted by JDNewbie on February 04, 2016 at 17:01:09:
My father was more a woodworker than a mechanic.
I've got a bunch of kind of average quality stuff. He had a lot of tools, but not a lot of money.
One of my favorite items that I've got now is his father's belt sander - one of those big metal porter cable sanders. Love that thing, works perfectly. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
That'll go to my son - he'll be 18 this year. Kinda crazy to think of that thing lasting four generations.
... that same son how, maybe 16 years ago made me SO mad. I think it was the only time I ever spanked him, at least the only time it was a "real" spanking, not just a tap on the butt.
He was throwing a temper tantrum. I usually just rolled with those, knowing it's just part of the process. Just let him scream it out in his room. This time I had to go back in for something. His "tools" - kind of heavy plastic material - were lying all over the floor. He was rolling around on the floor kicking and screaming - I kinda lost it a bit and yelled at him to knock it off. That only made him worse of course.
I got what I needed in his room, and I turned back towards him to say something - just as he had picked up his plastic adjustable wrench - and HURLED it at me. Smacked me HARD right across my nose and cheek. It HURT and it p'd me off all at the same time.
he got his real spanking - and probably first exposure to a few curse words - but he's lucky I had that much self control. It's hard not to over-react from something like that - noise and obnoxious bratty-ness is one thing - an adjustable wrench to the face is another. But we both survived. He grew into a good kid.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
