Hi

My name is Robert Fortier (call me Bob) and I live in Sherbrooke, Province
of Québec. I came across the Galoot progress page while searching for info
on planes, and I like what I read there. I must admit I recognize myself
in the flea market strategy....Anyway. I don't have a lot of tools (yet)
but I plan to find some in the nearby future. Speaking of that, have you
heard of a plane company named Sheldon ??? Shelton ??? I came across one
#14 this weekend at a flea market, but if it is any good, I'll get it next
week. In the real life, I built prototypes of furniture for Canada's
biggest furniture manufacturer. And when I come back from work, I usually
go down stair play with my toys....tools !! I have several power tool (I
know I'm not supposed to talk about this, but this is my introduction,
after all...) all dated 1953 and before. A Beaver jointer, a Beaver scroll
saw, A Porter Cable circular saw (before 1945, I believe)etc...

As for hand tools, some planes, a brace, two egg-beater, an old wodden
plane from A Monty, Roxton Pond P.Q., a small Disston hand saw (from
Toronto). I also have a couple of moulding plane that I made myself.

So now you know a little bit about me....

p.s. one simple rule I have at home...Dont throw anything away, it might
become usefull in the future
