35年前、14歳の木村少年が御茶ノ水の古本市で手に入れたのと全く同じ本をフェアファックス高校のスワップミートで発見！当時はお小遣いを全部使い果たして買ったというのに、3ドル・・・それにしても木村氏の左手がこわひぃぃ・・・どうなっちゃったんざんしょ？
found a triangle mechanic's chair
三角のコロ付椅子も発見。N美氏っぽいな、この三角。
and then, he found this workbench with drawers and two vises on top table.
その上、こちらの古いワークベンチを入手。引き出しと珍しい形のバイス2個付。古いものは本当にしっかりしている。いつまでもいつまでも使える。
removed one of the vises to make more space on top.
机部分が使いづらいので、バイスは一つ取って別のところへ移動。
it looks good with the indian!
インディアンとお似合いだこと。

i heard that Kamakura area has pretty good fleas, too. see you in yokohama!
Oh, Wild Cars, lovely. I got my copy about 35 years ago, it didn't cost a fortune though. Filled with preferably strange British Hot Rods and Customs it was a great inspiration for me in the seventies when Hot Rod books and magazines were scarce in the town where I grew up.
Mats Brate: wow! i think it costed fortune for 14 years old to buy a foreign book in japan 35 years ago. yen was pretty weak back then ;)
