Howdy from Texas
on: October 23, 2023, 05:16:26 AM
I started out with this when I was in middle school many moons ago.  My trusty ol' Tinker.



Over time it got relegated to the back of my drawer.

I rediscovered it a while ago so I started carrying it on and off again.  Got me started down the rabbit hole of SAK modding videos.  Made me wonder if I could do it.  I may have a problem now...

May the best of your past, be the worst of your future.

My son saw my SAK collection and thought it was "really cool".  He then asked when he could get his own.  He's 11 now so I thought a Tinker would make a good Christmas present.  His favorite colors are black and red.


May the best of your past, be the worst of your future.
