The OFG's Lawn Mower

Post about everything from carrying a handkerchief to manly skills (sharpening a pocket knife, etc), to product reviews of items that may have slipped inder our radar (ie Grandpa's Pine Tar soap). No threads on anything 'new' unless it hearkens to old-fashioned sensibilities and ideals.

I've lost count... I think I have 10 running, one in a full restoration, one becoming a cutaway, and one I don't know if I make a parts tractor or get it going.
