Woodworking tools came from the woodworking shop that was located in the building where Katie O'Leary's Bar is now - 117 NE 2nd Ave Waseca, MN. Bert Hanson owned the building during 1940s and 1950s and used it for a woodworking shop. Ike Wynnemer owned the building in the 1960's and also did some woodworking in the building. Bert and Ella Hanson were good friends of Wes Rethwill Senior. (The friendship circle was Judge Senn, Harold Cooper (father of Gus Cooper) and Wes Rethwill Sr.) These tools were given to Wes Rethwill Junior by Ella Hanson.
