RATS Meeting

February 13, 2009, Short Pump, VA

Another Friday the 13th meeting! But we RATS aren't too superstitious and as usual, we had a good meeting turnout. There were tools to be had!

Longtime RATS member Steve Hoffman delivered a brief presentation about firearm-related tools and showed a very small part of his extensive collection:

RATS member Michael Winget-Hernandez apparently needs to use his auger bits more often! He stored this box up in his garage and found a bird's nest in it, complete with eggs:

Another RATS member brought these interesting boring tools (my wife thinks all old tools are boring, but these were interesting boring tools):

As always there were plenty of interesting old tools to look at and many were for sale.

The granddaddy of all spoon bits!
