My Sogard Hand Drill

32"x16" oil on canvas ••• I love this drill! • It's in great shape, has great balance, great colors, and you can store your bits in the handle! I mean... how cool is that? You see that thingy on the top of the handle? It unscrews revealing a secret compartment. Actually, it's not so secret, it was not uncommon for these drills to have a storage compartment in the handle, but I still thinks it's cool. • Yes, I have an unhealthy love of (good) tools. It's a disease I like having AND it requires no penicillin. • This piece creeps up on being almost 3 feet tall and is in a 2-to-1 ratio, which is somewhat unusual for me. I might do more in this format, but honestly, it has less to do with what I want, than it does with what the piece calls for. As the Great Mongo once said, "Mongo only pawn... in game of life." Me too, buddy, me too.
