Christmas Lights -- Sunday, November 25, 2018

Put up the Christmas lights on the house.  May have been the earliest ever...

Round Corner Plomb 1/4" ratchet set tool box (before & after cleaning)





The stamped lettering is a very interesting font that's different from the one used on the tools.  I find it very attractive and a little bit art-deco like.  The font on the tools tend to be more angular & crisp.



The edge of the lid with the little indentation for "latching" was bent.  Used a hammer & an anvil to straighten it out so that the latching works.

I can't find khaki green wrinkle finish paint online...  I have some black wrinkle finish paint left over from something else.  I may just paint it black...

Peugeot Freres (Peugeot Brothers) wrench & Thiem Aircraft fuel filler nozzle -- Before & After Cleaning




The same family of businesses as the Car company (company goes back to the early 1800s).  This type of wrench design places the force on the face of the hexagon, not the corner tips.






Commercial aircraft under-wing refueling nozzle.  Made by a company called Thiem which got bought out by a company called Maggitt.  This basic design is still available and about $1,500 ~ $2,000 new... (didn't take a picture before cleaning...)
