Thursday thrill...
  • Well, I've been looking for the Swingle-Tree from my Scottish Gig for several years now. Turns out it was in my Whitechapel Cart the whole time. Or at least that's where I found it today. I'll be able to make my Four-wheeled Dog Cart more comfortable for Socks now. He doesn't like the stationary hooks on the shafts. Made my day to stumble across that.

  • Many years ago had a new belt stashed for a lawn tractor. Finally needed it and could not find it anywhere. Got a new one, installed it, and then saw the one I had stashed away hanging on the wall above a tool box. No clue how it ended up on the wall AFTER I installed the one I had just bought. If you can't find something, buy a new one and the something will show up.

  • So very true!  However this kind of thing is not quite available on a store shelf.  Gilpin quit making carriages in the mid twenties and they held on longer than most.  This kind of equipment has to be custom made at considerable expense.  Hence my delight at finding it finally!
