And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Swanson, the original. When you get that combination square home, pull that scribe out of the head and, if you haven't already, make a spot for it on your nail apron because if you don't it will disappear, and if you ever find it, it will be when you're grasping for something else, and you'll stab the bejesus out of yourself with it. That will occur. of course, right in front of a client.
I like a 12" combo square, actually the 12" is all I've used...
