That is a really unique gift. I have never seen anything like it. My husband would have yelled about someone ruining good tools. :lol: He'd rather use them than look at them.

That looks like my tool box. The one underneath that looks it was bent about 4 or 5 different directions, looks like a thingamajig I could use once in a while. 8) 8)

THanks, I liked it 'cause it gave me an idea of what to do with all those odd metal peices, broken tools and things like that and make something useing them....then again, it might end up looking like some weird...lookin......thing.... :? Not good.

Where I got this, there were other neat objects made from tools and swather teeth and stuff like that like fish, motorcycles, bicycles, crabs, a roadrunner...all sorts of neat stuff. THere was one thing that looked like it weighed over 50 lbs....I'd hate to pack something as big as that home... :shock:

I'm just hoping Dad won't take it apart to use the hook, 'cause he said he needed that "by the way"....

I get a lot of broken bucket teeth from the backhoe. There was a time when I would weld three of them together for mid-line trotline weights. Had a neighbor trying to build a field rake using rebar. The rebar kept bending. He asked me about it and after taking a look I brought that thing here and used 14 broken bucket teeth on it.

Everything has a purpose. Broken things made into useable things is always better than throwing them away.
