A picture for Dan, aka Mr. Recovery

Unread post by raymond » March 3rd, 2019, 10:17 pm

Dan, aka Mr R, frequently posts pictures with a wooden folding ruler.
He posted enough of them that Mr.D, aka Mr.Dibbles, aka Matt used to gig him on it.
Going through stuff to find my flaring tool also turned up an old metal folding ruler, made in Germany, not West Germany, so likely pre WW2 that belonged to my father in law.
Made me think of Mr. R.

So Mr. R, you're going to have to upgrade :lol:
