This is a man who’s definitely well practiced at his trade. To shake his hand may be a painful experience. I like the “Roebling Wire Rope” sign on the wall since I live 5 mins. away from John Roeblings Saxonburg, PA. home, inventor of “Wire rope”. I don’t think the museum even has that sign.

After about 20 cuts, you’ll need to sharpen the cold chisel again, but this is the easiest and the cheapest way to do it.
