    Now that's made in America

    Pay attention to what history has taught us or be prepared to relive it again

    They went the way of the iron horse, and the hardware stores.

    Great pics. Thanks for putting them up. Absolutely superb craftsmen in that generation. What I wouldn't give to sit down and talk with my own GP, now that I am nearing the age I knew him at. What a generation of men.

    They did it all with the least amount of tools and craftsmen they were, they were using real joinery not just gluing all the peices together like todays garbage they made it work.I wish I had 1/2 the knowledge Pop had.
