210354 "Steve Lineback" <steve.lineback@a...> 2010‑12‑03 Bio
Wanted to post a new one and had some time today. I'm fifty-eight and
thanks to the recent economy about two or three years farther from
retirement than I thought I was. I've got more user tools than sense and
need to thin those out. Honestly except for some of the rarer Stanleys (
anybody got a spare 196 for sale?) my recent tool buys fall into two
categories, deals too good to pass up and feeding my collectors habit.
Yes I said collecting because lets face it most of us have enough tools
to do about anything were likely to actually start. My long term monkeys
are backsaws, six inch braces, spoke shaves T.H. Witherby chisels and
anything Brown & Sharpe or Starrett in restorable shape. I have two
grown daughters and SWMBO more projects than I'll complete in two more
lifetimes and the only thing I really need to do in the shop is make a
bigger better bench. Steve
