I've come to the conclusion that my shop just doesn't smell right. It's not bad, I like it but it is a mixture of wood, paint and everthing else.
I have just received a parcel from GLR distributors. When I unpacked it and got to the metal bar some old memories were stirred by the smell.
When I was a littlun I used to visit an engineer who had a worshop just across the road. I remember my dad and I helping to move all his stuff 1/2 mile down the road from the old blacksmiths shop to a new building in his garden. We pulled it all on a four wheeled cart and did quite a few trips. When he retired I bought a mill and tooling from him. Happy memories indeed but getting back to the point it was the smell his workshop had that I loved and this package brought it all back. I think it must be the grease that new metal is protected with. It is almost a sweet smell. Perhaps I could get some of the stuff and put it in a spray to "freshen" things up or maybe just roll my clothes in some :big: I do miss it though.
Best wishes to all,
Peter.
