I do find it odd that UK tools are named different things...Isn't a Jigsaw called a Rat's Dick or summit?

THat pic I posted says VISE GRIPS on the tool.

I know a thing or two about tools. :wink:

I was thinking that spanner was a crescent. I guess those are the non-adjustable wrenches shaped like a crescent. All wrenches aid in monkeying. I have to examine my Dremel tools or order some nut saws. I can't get thin enough slots. But that bone cuts pretty easily. I think old maple might be harder. Tools are my vice.

I painted my last guitar last night. I am not keeding you thees time. Sonic blue is a sweet lil color. Hard to decide between that and Daphne. They are both exceptional. I polished part of a MM in Daphne last night and now I want to keep it again. Fuck. It's Daphne and my birth year. It's also kinda snappy with that one pup.

I was also wiring a 57 Duo. Nothing special to do except for that switch with PIECES OF WOOD in it. Don't take any wooden switches. On mine the pink metal is wood.

Oh, right. THAT rat's dick. That we've heard of. They swam in uncharted waters over there.
