Hello Honeycomb community.

Some of you already knew me from before and I hope the new ones know me now.

I have been told about this community Family and Friends so well a little post to share with you.

This starts as follows.

Recently thanks to TikTok I saw a post about a page where you can download free books, any book, I gave my best friend a PDF book for his birthday, he had been looking for it for years and thanks to this page I got it, he was so excited that he told me that he stayed all night reading it and finished it in almost 2 or 3 days, he is a Harry Potter fan and this was a book that has to do with him.

Well, when I got this book that was very hard to find and there I found it, I thought I would look for one that I wanted for a long time and what if I find it? I got RUN OR DIE or as it is also known, MAZE RUNNER. I started the book and I'm already on chapter 6, it's a very detailed book, and well there was a word that was repeated a lot by the characters in the book and I didn't understand it very well so I decided to look it up on the internet.

The strange word...

GARLOPO

For them it's like an insult, I still don't know why they say it that way and even less now that I have researched what a garlopo is.

Now yes, I am sure you are wondering why I am writing all this in this community, well I already talked about my friend and his gift, now I will talk about something super crazy and all thanks to that book I started reading.

When I researched what Garlopo meant I discovered that it is a device that dates back to 1935 and was used in carpentry. When I saw the image of what it is, there was a second surprise....

This you are about to see is the famous GARLOPA.

This is a GARLOPA, a carpentry tool to file the boards and leave them at the same level, my surprise when I see the image on the internet and I'm thinking, here at home I saw one and I started to look and here it is.... I asked who it belonged to and since what year it was in the family, my grandmother is 72 years old and she told me that it belonged to her father, so it must be 80 or 90 years old in the family, with this tool the grandfather (my grandmother's father) built a dining table as a wedding gift for my grandmother, table that is still here and it weighs a lot, you have to lift it between 2 people.

And well so far I leave my story, I hope you liked it and if I get any other old pieces like this I will be building a new post for you.
