he is turning 40 this month and it would be perfect. I had thought it was at Watts Embroidery but it was not. I know I have seen it. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hope you're not getting fed up with my replies yet, -I love this thread. If you'd like music to go with your gift and/or can view video clips, this one would really 'fit'! It's the Corb Lund Band, 'Hard on Equipment'. Enjoy!

Here are a bunch of tools and a design of Duct Tape. They are all free. I also seem to remember that design and of course clueless to where.

YAHOO ! I found the design. Well I found a crabby Gus with a tool box and flash light. I will have to add the words myself, I have never done this but i am supposed to be able to do so on my machine so here goes. In retrospect i believe I too saw the words at ATW and attached them to the Gus design in my mind. Boy I am getting old, but not as old as my brother-in law. LOL
Thank-you for all your help and suggestion.
Oh yeah I got a set of Gus designs from stitchedimpressions.com for only 7$ so I am prepared for all the men in this family as the age.

Gus is also at the Countryneedle site with a toolbox. I found a bulk set but he's prob in a smaller one as well.

A few other good ones here (link below) at Got a Stitch. Emerald Originals might be worth a try as well.

Thank-you these are good I might have to change my mind. I believe the the design I saw was one of those Gus and Stella ones. I have looked on the sites I know carry them but have not found it.

Actually my brother-in law is turning 60 I guess I said 40 accidentally after writing WD40. I hope someone knows where I saw this design because it would be perfect for him.

I did find reference to the saying at Larry & Holly's embroidery Highway (was ATW)-not a design as yet though. I'm sure I could use it for others!

Thank-you for your effort, if I could just find a design of an old man with a tool belt I could add the words my self.
