Greetings Porch Dwellers,
      Hi, my name's Tom and I'm a tool addict. Unlike some on the list,
I can find not one woodworker in my family tree. I live in Frederick, MD
with SWMBO (Carole) and 2 canine critters. I am a warehouse mgr for a
distributor of doors and windows to the building trades. I did my
woodwork in the normite fashion until last year. All blame for my ride
down the slippery slope rests with Gunterman. Saw an announcement on
rec.norm about a 'make a spokeshave class' at Ted Scott's. Whats a
spokeshave? I had no idea but it sounded like a fun way to meet some
woodworkers. So I go and make a tool. About 10 mins. into the
proceedings JG comes over, puts both his large mitts in the middle of my
back, and shoves me down this huge slope. Thank you, John. I now find
myself looking for estate sales and fleas. My latest addition is a 12"
Noble backsaw from MofA. SWMBO took one look at it and said "old tools
are always better". Am I lucky or what? I am the greenest of GITs so I
will spend most of my time in lurk mode. The porch is just such a
relaxing place.
