Wow, this thread sure went off the rails....This board back in the day(years before the domain name troll temporarily stole the TRS name from Mr. Oaks) used to be "THE" place for all thing RBV. Now....religious bickering. I have been our religion all my life and the message about your fellow man was to love all for who they are. Be tolerant and accepting as well. Here I see bickering, name calling by allegedly religious people. Way to turn people off of RBV's and the almighty.
It's not always like that...and there was a brief disagreement...Most times the Sanctuary is quiet and peaceful as we sit in solitary or communal prayer and read the words of the Almighty and the teachings of Jesus. What just happened actually used to happen quite often on the other threads.
There were regular bannings and closed threads where members were discussing religion or, better, politics. I've even been involved in a few of them...talk about smoking sections or vaccinations and it could get interesting.
I think I haven't been on any discussion board that hasn't erupted in a flame war...but the flame wars are quickly put out on TRS because we finally decided it would be red buckets...or was it blue buckets and red hats?
Good point, religion is silly, Jesus Christ is God, not religion. Let God be God. Lets stop thinking we have to do works and imposing them on other people. And sorry if I've brought offense.
Moving on.. I just bought a circa early 80's?? Craftsman 6500 tool box, one of them like medium sized hand-helds. The thing isn't mint, but very clean. Is it just me or do the 80's and prior tool boxes seem stronger than the 90's-present?
That picture you posted...I have one almost the same but probably even older than that...my father passed away in 2000 (he was the first Y2K casualty...not really...) and left his tools and stuff for us to take as we wanted. His tool box, probably the second one he owned in 55 years or so...was in good shape so I snagged that for myself. It was a bit rusty on the bottom so I sanded it down, painted it black...and put my "rarely if ever" tools in it...that means I rarely use them...if ever!
One of the things I found was an oil can spout...the kind we used to puncture the cans with...that meant you only want to put in the whole thing all at once or have a nice dust-free place to store it until it was used up.
I found this image on-line...
