Fairly recently actually.
Started making pukey ducks 10 or 12 years ago, after about 3 years of that
started making furniture. Found my first Krenov book. I was then hooked.
Even named my siamese cat Krenov. Not really a " pure galoot" yet. May
never be, but I am trying to always use hand tools techniques where they
make sense and make a difference. In the last 2 years, my hand tools coll
errr assortment has grown at an alarming rate. I have 24 block planes
Paddy. I don't know how many saw sets I have, and will someone please tell
me what I am doin with all these little oil cans?
I am replacing all the furniture in our house piece by piece.
What I really want to do is to learn to make windsor chairs. I will
probably then go pure galoot in methods of work
SWMBO has become part of the problem. She bought home 2 coping saws and a
Miller Falls Brace this mornin. She paid 25C each for them at Garage sales
