it occurred to me i’d not heard from larry holland in some time, either here or personally, so i wrote him a note and decided if i could find out online what he is up to (and hoping like hell he still is up to something!). i found this, dated 6 July: https://www.chinookobserver.com/life/pacific-county-lives-meet-dutch- holland-master-of-essential-life-skills/article_9e177f8a-bfcb-11ea-99db- 8b0692197ddc.html">https://www.chinookobserver.com/life/pacific-county-lives- meet-dutch-holland-master-of-essential-life-skills/article_9e177f8a-bfcb-11ea- 99db-8b0692197ddc.html just in case anyone might want to know :) bill felton, ca |

Well, we always knew Larry was galoot through and through. I can see through the journalistic rosy picture and imagine the amount of sheer hard work needed to avoid the ‘industrial apprentices’ we each turn to for the roughing out. At the same time, I think we all understand the sense of satisfaction and appreciation of the final products. And - for the benefit of any other galoots outside the chinook area, you need to sidestep the geographical filter by using a gdpr neutral browser. Tor did it for me. Well worth the minor inconvenience. When I’m in my cave, I shall salute you Larry.

Contrary to one of our strict rules, I put them all together and took a photo. At a modest 24 panel saws, nothing to shout about here of course, but lots of clean up time needed before I can dispose of (most of) them on the open market. https://www.flickr.com/photos/167854154@N.../with/50189430891/ for pics. |

Apropos not hearing from someone, does anyone know anything about Sandy Moss? He hasn’t updated his website (Sydnas Sloot) since April 29. I emailed him about a month ago but haven’t received a response. I wonder if he retired or is simply taking a break, but with the virus raging throughout the country it’s a bit concerning. I know he’s a galoot so I thought someone might have some info to share. No need to go into personal details, just is he okay or not. Steve Sent from my iPhone |

I can say that I had a brief exchange with Sandy Moss, just this past March. He did reply to my inquiry about spiral screwdrivers and also stated that, "my interests have wandered recent years" and that "doesn't leave much time to pursue my old interests in screw drivers or other tools." He is retired and did list several new interests which seem to have superseded his long-time previous tool interests. His website http://www.sydnassloot.com/brace.htm is still up, but maybe not active. Cliff |
