>Dang! Where were you having coffee? The tool porn show in Las Vegas?

Re: You're a mean man...

Rob Lee

>Nah -

We're just starting to catalog some of the collection... that's the stuff we pulled out of the main warehouse mezzanine...

The good stuff really is still in boxes, or under lock and key....

>You have way to much money and time on you hands. Most of us would have given up after the secocand picture and got a fresh cup of coffee.

You bastage...

>Rob,

You could have a second career as a writer of childrens books. That post reminded me of what I read to my 2 yr old before bed ... only the tool pics are cooler than the butterflys. I would definitey buy that book :)

Jay

That's just part of your collection...

>Cataloging is such a grind... and you are a "Captain of Industry". This activity cannot be cost effective.

Lemme just send you a few hundred buck and I'll come by and take that old iron off your hands, so you can get back to being productive ans figure out what the next "new tool" is gonna be

WOW!

John Weber - GO BUCKS!

>Now I know why old tool prices are so high. Awesome collection! Any chance of some traveling with the Wood Show grews at some point.

Wendell @ Murphy, TX

>Tweet!!!! Gloating from behind. That's a five minute major penalty. To the sin bin you go :) You're lucky no injuries occurred or we'd have to give you a game misconduct.

I seen your taunting on two message boards (so far). How do you decide who gets taunted and who doesn't? Coin flip, roll of the dice, ouija board?

Wendell

You better have RV parking

>I lost track of the whilst whilst I was looking at those plow planes (are they ebony?). The whilst I refer to is in one of your posts below.

So what you're saying ....

Mike L in Trabuco Canyon, CA

>So what you're saying Rob is that you have a lot more fodder to keep us voyeurs drooling over *many* future catolog covers. Excellent! (said in the voice of Monty Burns)

Rob.... I couldn't have guessed

Hey Rob...

Martin from Granbury, Texas

>Why don't you start a tool museum at the LV headquarters? Or perhaps have small display cases set up in each of your stores? I'll bet you could increase your per store traffic, or, if you put them all in one place, you could charge a reasonable admission.

Martin, who has been to the Winnepeg and Calgary stores, and is trying to "collect" them all! (Kind of like going to all the ballparks?)

>John,

I think I deserve a prize for being the first one to spot the movie reference in your title. Maybe that Stanley 444. What do you think? You're closer to Rob's place than I am - you could just slip in there, pick it up while he's looking for his coffee cup...

Bill, spent a little time in Hastings in my youth. Nice town.

Re: Johnny Dangerously Alert!

Rob Lee

>Bill -

I saw the reference - but I was sure it was "Bastich"....

Cheers -

Rob

I second that!

>Rob,

When are you opening the museum?

Hope it is very soon, I am not getting younger.

Thanks for the chuckle and the wonderful teaser.
