that wrench must be over 15 years old , very good quality Swiss made one , should be lasting for a life, I always keep it inside my on site tools bag  :glasses10:

 

[rgand]

Yeah, some of the older tools just work. I have a few myself.

No, not Swiss made. That's made in Sweden. (Some info about Bahco.) :icon_jokercolor:

thanks for correction, Easy to mix up that 2 country ,  I also don't know it now part of SNA Europe, part of Snap-on. I love it's moving part got very tight fit , no wobble when use.

I probably don't need to tell you, but Americans in general are terrible at geography and history. Some of us older kids are a little better at it, but only because the nuns used to be able to beat it into us, along with reading, writing and math. In the public schools... who knows? I'm not sure they even teach it any more. It's probably been replaced by "gender studies", "abstract fingerpainting" and lunch, followed by "creative free time". So, ask most kids and it's unlikely they even know Sweden and Switzerland are countries, let alone two entirely different different ones, and the brighter ones would probably say Swiss is a type of chocolate and Swedish is an adjective for meatballs. Whatever an "adjective" is...  But, Hendrix? Shame on you! :laughing7:

Adjustable wrenches are usually ridiculed because they're notoriously sloppy and lead to the destruction of nuts and bolt heads due to poor fit, but a good one is pretty handy. Keeps you from having to run back to the toolbox multiple times.

I have been to USA many time , I know there are much less world news on TV news than we are here in Hongkong, HK use to be call "world city " , but now it hand over back to China, sadly being  China assimilated .
I not so good on spelling English , so when I type "Sw" Mac OS typing tool just show up Swiss first on touch bar, i just click it， as swiss army knife a kind of relate to "good tools"  :doh:

I was kidding about "shame on you". You're a million miles from deserving of any shame whatsoever. Quite the opposite - the work you do sets a high bar for the rest of us. The joke is that we're sort of conditioned to expect great things from Asians here, so when an Asian makes a mistake, it draws attention, even if it's minor or innocent or something we do every day  :laughing7:

I am a bit saddened by China's assimilation of HK. In the short term, it's likely to be detrimental. But, I suspect over time, things will improve. The problem is probably going to be how much time. The bigger the ship, the slower it turns.

 

[Hendrix]

I know you are kidding  :glasses10:

for more related to China , it a mix thing, on biz side , we do get more opportunities, like now , I busy on working a project for launch party in HK of Paris Hermès , using China factory cheaper labour and HK " world design view " .
but as I in China factory now , I can't even using Google .  :sad:

on other side, Honkong freedom of press drops a lot on last 20 year , right now only one news paper remains are free and holding the last frontier , under heavy China economic influence.

 

[Cagey]

That's gotta suck. The internet without Google is like flying blind.

Sweden and Switzerland are actually very alike on a precision manufacturing level. Think of Bofors and Oerlikon for heavy machine gun or light cannon, Bahco and Würth for tools. Switzerland has more of a watchmaker precision country reputation, but the quality coming out of Sweden is actually just as high. And certainly for 15 year old tools. Companies in both countries have more and more shifted production to Asia, just like everybody.

About how to DIY copper finish on Gotoh Wilkinson Tremolo .

It a kind of technique I learned from theatre props making ( I graduate as set and costume design in theatre major) , in theatre and film industry, we need to made a lot new sets, props , costumes weathered to look “old “ and integrated into reality life.
Like this props box I done for a Indiana Jones style game room.

First of all, the most important tools of weathering is Natural Sea Sponge ( you should be able to find in local art supplies shops, if not , can buy online here or here ) some tutorial here ( I can’t go to youtube now to find video )




It like how I done the DIY copper pickups in tele build , second things is you need a black or dark colour as base,
Sand it first to made the paintings applicable.

then building hight light layers by layers.

So same as here in Gotoh Wilkinson Tremolo with DIY copper finish .

Steel brush it to made the paintings applicable.

I think that neck plate is awesome. I might have said that already, but it bears repeating.
