A union Plumber (Local 1) wanted a rod built with a "Wrench" theme


I sat down and designed a few different ideas, before Mike finally decided on teh wrenches crossed at an angle (what he orginally told me, lol)


I spent about 3 hours designing the various inlays, and another 4 cutting and glueing it, and another 1 1/2 hours putting the grip togetehr with trim

You are just plain unreal. Really wish I have taken time to drain your brain when I had a chance to.

Ken, as long as Mikethe Plubmer likes it, I'm happy, lol. Doc, it's the same as you doing the weaves. YOu get an idea, sleep on it, do a million other things for weeks/months, then in the middle of buying groceries It hits you likea ton of bricks, and all of a sudden when you least expected it, you get some crazy brainstorm idea to do teh most kick buttiest thing you ever thought of, lol.
