269323 Bretton Wade <brettonwade@g...> 2019‑10‑15 Update
Hello Galoots,

It's been about 10 years since I was last truly active in the Old Tool
community. In that time I've had a few adventures, but I'm pleased to
report that I'm finally settling in a new place in Federal Hill, Baltimore,
where the tools can come out of storage. To that end, my bench is along a
garage wall. The saw till is standing at one end of the bench with two
saws, a Disston panel saw and an Atkins (both crosscut). A few of the
Mathieson planes are peeking around corners, and the rack for the Yankee
braces is waiting to be hung. There's even some pieces of Boxwood I got
from Jeff some years back, and some yew, and some cherry...

I don't expect I'll be doing a lot of wood dorking in the very near future,
but for the first time in a very long time, I *could*.

Old Tool content: I'm 50 now, officially an antique tool mahself. Some of
you will scoff at that. ;)

Welcome from the Eastern Shore - we can almost see Federal Hill on a clear day
(at least the Key Bridge)

Welcome back. I wish I could claim to be an Antique. I am old enough, but don't
have any inherent value. ;)

Bretton!

Welcome back to The Porch! Good to hear from you! There's a rocker waiting for
you down at this end of the Porch, now that you are old enough to know that a
"rocker" is not a rock musician....

I am still enjoying that 4-1/2 (wide smoothing plane by Stanley, in memory of
Jeff) that I bought from you at a PNTC meeting many moons ago. Tuned up to
within an inch of its life, it was, and with a Hock iron to boot! Fine plane it
still is.

Only 6 months 'til April....

Cheers,

Hey Bretton,

Congratulations, Federal Hill is an interesting area.  We rehabbed a row 
house above Fells Point, near Patterson Park, a few years ago.  What an 
adventure!  I really miss the place.  Did you buy into a rehab effort, 
or bypass that?

Hey Chuck---
    I'm still using an exquisite but well-worn morticing gauge that Bretton
gifted me in the last days of the last century, I think it was.  I still owe
him, so keep it quiet.  Oops, he's listening, isn't he!  Hey Bretton, what's
shaking?

                                  and all the best of the season to all galoots
everywhere; gam in OlyWA USA

50 is the new 35!  I hope that I will never be old, but older yes!
