Howdy all. I've been listening at the door for a couple of weeks, and
thought I would step out on the porch. My name is Lee Smith, and I am
in the process of making a career change from merchant ship's
officer(2nd mate), which I have done since 1986, to the computer world;
just got my A+ cerification, in fact. I really don't have any
background in woodworking, but am working at it(learning by trial and
error). I have a couple of planes I've lapped out and SS'd(TM), but
that and some cheap chisels(also SS'd(TM)) and Japanese style saws are
about the extent of my *current* set of old tools(I expect the set will
grow). Being that I live in West Florida, from what I've been
hearing, the used old tool pickings maybe aren't as good as I might
like. I hope that you all don't mind hearing lots of questions about
how to do stuff. Lord knows I'm not very shy about exposing my
ignorence; and boy, do I have a lot to expose! Looking forward to
communing with ya'll on woodworking.
Lee
