This year we will be having a tool exchange.
If you have a tool that you made or even one you bought and want to trade it bring it along.
1) each tool will be assigned a number
2) we will draw names for each tool

What is the price range that we're talking about here? I think there needs to be some guidance so peole don't under/over do it.

It is more for fun, then for profit :)
how does $10-$50 range sound?

Can those that want to participate but don't have a tool make a donation for a ticket? Maybe a ticket winner get the money pot. Just a thought for those trying to build their tool collection.

that takes all the fun out of it:rolleyes:
you can make a hammer from an old base ball bat, a slaper from an old leaf spring, I saw just the other day were some one made a radius gage on a flat piece of aluminum. just have fun with it:D

Just some ideas for those with the urge to participate but the lack of inspiration.
(Thank you to all who originally designed the tools listed below)

Chris,

Thanks for the ideas. Hadn't seen that degree device for marking U bends before. May have to build one of those.

Just a reminder that it will occur.

In my case, bringing good quality body hammer and dolly that I picked up at a swap meet for peanuts - cause they were rusty and pitted. Blast cabinet, paint, grind, sand, polish - will make a nice tools for someone.

For those of you that don't have one yet, I've cut some slapper blanks out of a well seasoned 1925 Chevy leaf spring. Built a couple quick samples to show how to complete them.
