Welcome to The Bootstrap Home Page!

A variety of things of interest to Frank Armbruster and friends. A few commercial offerings. Some Rocky Mountain closeouts and flea market items, and some stuff for school teachers.

• Fishermen:Okay -fisherpersons- who want to build their own bamboo rods. Also known as cane rodmaking. We make the planing forms for you.

• Machinists: Metalworkers, millwrights, moldmakers, wood workers, or shop instructors. If you make noise and sawdust, curly chips, or swarf, check in here. Don't bother if you don't know what Morse, Brown & Sharp, or ASA Tapers are and where they are used. If you do know something about taper connections, come on in.

• Read about games, puzzles, and play activities for school use.

• For neat stuff that we need to get rid of because it is cluttering up the basement. Also, here is where you can find Frank's newest inventions, including the DENVER AIRPORT LUGGAGE LOCATOR ;-), ALL PURPOSE FISHING LURE, LOST MODEL AIRPLANE FINDER, and other such nonsense.

• If you're interested in Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, and Trade Secrets; If you have an idea and want to protect it, check out this spot.

• If you're a teacher in grade K-12, I'll make you a crossword puzzle of words that you send. - free-.

• Contest:Where in the world was this picture taken?

• A list of Web Pages that we've found to be interesting.

• What's new, places to eat in the Rocky Mt. area, questions looking for answers, scams and rip-offs to look out for, half-baked ideas, and stuff like that.
