Looking for a Font

Just spent over an hour looking for a font with no luck, so thought I'd see if anyone here knows where I can find one &/or what it's called.



I'm looking for a font with construction type tools (hammer, saw, screwdriver, paintbrush - that kind of thing). I'd prefer a font with the tools as part of the letters, but will take dingbats if that's all I can find. Tried searching for "construction" & "tool", but of course those words are used in other contexts as with the creation of fonts, not just as descriptors for what they look like. So, no luck for me. The only thing I've found is one font called "paint" that's a paint can. Every letter looks the same, tho, & I'd really like more of a variety.



Anyone know of a font like what I'm looking for? Either what it's called or where to find it? I'm on a PC.



And, for those into fonts who might not have found these 2 sites:

(super selection of fonts for scrapbooking, with easy-to-view, quickloading pages)
formatting link
(unusual fonts)



Thanks in advance!

I have this font. Let me know and I'll email it to you. Yes, I seached a long time a couple years ago to do a LO on the building of my house. I was amazed I still had it.

Wow, those are neat! Bookmarked them so I can look again when I'm working on an album for dad. He's Mr Handyman.

After I hit , of course, I realized I'd forgotten to say "free" font for this project.

Thanks!

Yes, please email.

The big challenge in finding fonts is figuring out what people might call them. "Toolbox" I might've figured out eventually. Too few brain cells left after working on this project so long. Font websites need better keywords & search functions.

Lynne sent me 3 great fonts.

Used 2 of them on the current project & will use all 3 on an upcoming one for a family in Mississippi whose Katrina-damaged home my dad & his brother worked on earlier this summer.

Thanks, Lynne!
