Hello, You've finally dragged me in! This whole thing started a year and a half ago. I'm a carpenter by trade, almost thirty years of power tools and nail guns. Banging up houses and four season rooms as fast as we can, so we can spend the Wisconsin winter inside trimming. On a rather cold Saturday morning I was in my Shop and I saw the nose of a Handplane that had been bouncing around from one unused container to another for something like ten years. I pulled it out and something said clean me, use me! So instead of having to shovel out the woodpile or keep at finishing the new addition, I was going to clean a Record #5 1/2. Igot out the steelwool, and the Laquar Thinner, when that inner voice said knowledge is power! On to the net I went. Up comes georgesbasement, and my life changed forever. I now live in our basement, I'm always late coming home on Thurs. and Fri. for hitting Garage Sales on my 20 ml. drive Home. I want to Thank all of you for deep pool of information you've made available. I've tripped a few times at the Fleas, making bad buys, but do to your info and throwing a tight leash around a novice, fresh to the hunt! Thanks again.

So Jeff, where ya at in Wisconsin? We've got a growing group in the metro Milwaukee-ish area and quite a few in northern IL. Look for details of a small get together in November .. prolly at my place in Cedarburg ... little talk, little trading, little selling and buying, maybe even use a tool or two..... OT content - finished something .. well... sort of... bench hook carving box for relief carving.. thanks for the many suggestions as I gear up to teach the woodcarving merit badge.. keep 'em coming! cheers all, Jim E #2 in Wisconsin On 9/20/06, nancyb |
