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. ;) -- Bretton Wade (aka Noz Moe King) in Baltimore, MD |

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

Welcome back. I wish I could claim to be an Antique. I am old enough, but don't have any inherent value. ;) Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S10. -------- Original message -------- From: Bretton Wade |

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....

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? Bill W. Nottingham, PA Woodworkers visit me at http://billwebber.galootcentral.com/ |

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 How horrible it is to have so many people killed!---And what a blessing one cares for none of them!

50 is the new 35! I hope that I will never be old, but older yes! Gary L. Yarrow TwoHerbs Workshop Brookings, SD 57006 Twoherbs.com |
