was looking at a vintage folding rule my partner has. it’s one of those beautifully crafted wooden, boxwood and brass tools. it’s by Hockley Abbey (John Rabone and Sons tools in Birmingham, UK). common thing as they were making 27,000 a week by 1945!
but it’s the #numerals that i’m taken by, look at the curls on the 2 and 3.

My first peertube video is up. it's just a small one showing my 18" buffallo drill press in action. It has 3/4hp 3phase motor and runs on a VFD. just for size comparison, I am 5'8" and that drill press stands good solid 6" taller than me. the chuck is MT3 with 3/4" capacity and weighs in at ~2lbs or so. whole drill press is 325lbs and is 1950s vintage.

Buffallo forge co. was headquartered in Buffalo, NY since 1878.
