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.
Went into a 4th generation metal shop in Bologna on a side street. The owner, Pierluigi, was a neat character and let us look around. The collection of tools was phenomenal and the metal works were works of art. The photo above would fit right in.
Reminds me of the toolbox of a mechanic I worked with about 50 years ago. It was a combo bike shop, and he was a Harley D specialist. Biggest collection of hammers I ever saw. Mostly used for truing their crankshafts.
