@LadyGrace i have lots of old tools but never saw that before
@Likestoenjoylife I forgot to tell people. The ruler is not any part of guessing. It only shows the length of it...6 inches and it's metal, of course.
@Likestoenjoylife you know when I go to thrift stores, people wouldn't think that a woman would like tools but I love looking at the old antique tools. They're so cool. I like to see what they used way back when. I think tools are really cool.

@LadyGrace he showed me how he heated up metal and pounded it with a mallet until her had made a sharpening tool for drilling in rock and then put it in water to harden it
@Likestoenjoylife I love that. I've seen that on TV. That's so cool how they do that I love to hear the sound....ssssssss.... When it hits the water. Hahaha I watch the TV show where they did that and I can't remember the name of it now but I love to watch it cuz they made all kinds of cool things.

@LadyGrace he knew how long to leave it in the water for it to be the right density to hard and itmwould break
@Likestoenjoylife OH yeah! That's the coolest part. They knew the exact precise moment to make it turn up perfect. Hahaha now that skill! I'm sure he was a professional and someone to be so proud of.
