Default A present for Bennett

Nice things happen to nice people. Dutch Comstock and Bennett Chapman are two of the nicest.

Right after the Dixieland meet I got this package from Dutch. I called him and he said it was for Bennett but he had already left. Dutch asked me to give it to him the next time I saw him and take some photos.

Bennett was over last week and I handed him the package.

Quite the birthday present from Dutch.

Those hammers are a combination of Plomb and Proto body hammers.Plomb was the name they went by from the 20;s until 1948 when Plumb toll company took them to court for infringing on their name.. They then changed there name to PRfessional TOol Company. That is where the name PROTO came from.They are one of the higher quality auto body hammers made. Bennett had some of them and Marty hunted the internet untill we had a complete set and then we restored them for our good friend Bennett.
The allmetalshaping site is one of the sources of the world wide freindsips and shaeing of knowledge that we have with each other Dutch and Marty

That was right on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not only have I learned a lot,I have met some life long friends here. It is fun here on the forum but when we all get together is what I really enjoy.

That smile on Bennett's face is priceless.

The Comstocks are first Class!!
