Where are you folks finding them?

Found that damn hammer. It was in the drawer marked "hammers".

I KNOW I have a small brass& leather headed hammer. I know it is out there. Spent 2 1/2 hours looking for it today. Gave up and used a ball pein gently. No doubt the next time I need a ball pein it...

Got a new shiny good smelling 5 cavity mold (.225) from Arsenal molds last week. Really nice looking w/o any chatter marks or tooling marks of any kind in the cavitys. Went to the shop today to...
