I skipped this one. Too many projects on the go, and I've spent most of the day in the shop.
I really don't need anymore tools, and I should be content with the ones that I have and use them more before buying any new ones.....

.I picked up a few "treasures": some nice Starrett tap holders and a stand for #1-60 drills (same as https://www.ebay.com/itm/275858270873). I was considering cloning the drill stand as a short production run. Any interest?
Picked up a pair of wire twisting pliers (you lock them on the wire and pull the knob on the end), a big needle with a flattened diamond cross section (the vendor said it was for leather, I wondered about sailcloth) and a nice straight peen/cross peen hammer. $65 all told, and some nice conversations. 
Interesting- What about a picture?
Something every pilot should know how to use and have in their toolbox, along with safety wire.
I used that type of wire twisting pliers quite a bit on the submarine.

I bought some Milbar lockwire pliers at that show a few years ago too. The spring was broke so I had to disassemble them, and fit a new one. They work great. Don't use them much anymore, but when I was racing they were needed quite a bit. Only had crappy princess auto ones back then though.
"on the submarine" ?

For fixing the mesh on the screen door.
Woah Woah Woah.... Not so fast. You can't go dropping that little tidbit on here and then just leave it laying there like a big dead horse in the driveway!
You might as well have told us you had sex with Farah Fawcett on the beach in Maui.
I'm with @YYCHM , what's the submarine story?
At minimum we need a 6 page post and pictures!

Screw that I just want the pictures. Fingers crossed for video too !
Bad pilot !
Pilots are only aloud to wreck the plane, only AME's can play with the spinny pliers.
That means Boing airplanes don't need pilots, they can wreck themselves. LOL
They don’t have hard landings cause they just go Boeing-boeing
