233365 bridger@b... 2012‑10‑02 bio post: Bridger Berdel
I live in Tucson, AZ. USA. I'm 47 years old. I have and use quite a few
tools inherited from various ancestors. I work wood for a living, which
means I have to motivate my cutting edges electrically, as it were, to
compete economically. I do use hand tools wherever I can, and I'm finding
more and more niches where hand tools are better, faster and more fun. I
teach a couple of classes at the local woodcraft store, plane tuneup and
freehand sharpening. I have a pretty well setup one man shop at my house.
I document random stuff of interest via flickr and tumblr:

I do live in Tucson alright - but I am not 47 years old (in fact I am 83).

Hi Blake. It seems all the Woodworking tool enthusiasts in Tucson are, well, "co
ming out of the woodwork" :)

Also let me correct my URL which should be .........

http://jp29.org/wwtools.htm  (Woodworking with hand tools 1947-1950)

I attribute all of those errors to old age - and not paying attention!

Anyway, we should get together.
