Workshop photo
My paternal grandfather died recently, after being in assisted care for several years. Due to work and family commitments I wasn't able to attend the funeral (on another continent; would've taken 48 hours just for the round-trip travel).This photo was displayed at the funeral: he's puttering about at his workbench. (To the right, on the wall, is a zillion crescent and box-end wrenches.) My uncle was kind enough to send me a high-resolution scan.
I'm gonna get a large-ish print made of it, and hang it up in my workshop, next to my workbench.

I can see the family resemblance, esp. in regards to the organizational / boxes'o-stuff well-archived and organized, and so forth. Your Grandfather would be honored by the picture above the workshop bit.
Thx! :)

Nice photo. Sorry for your loss. Grandpas are awesome. I miss mine.
Tara,
Thanks for that. Yep - Grandpas are groovy.
As you know, I'm into (mostly handtool) woodworking. So when he moved into assisted living, I inherited a lot of his hand tools. Pretty much doubled my stash of tools; put differently, about half my tools are from my grandpa. Pretty neat-o.
