Howdy!
Short BIO:
I'm 37, married, step-son in Navy, Christian (still being
converted... got a long way to go), telecommunications software
weenie, a shy guy...
Verbose BIO:
I've been lurking since last October. My shop is a *SMALL* corner of
my garage, I buy user tools (to use). My current project is a
wood-working bench (should take up most of my "shop").
I'm drawn to old tools... they're quiet, typically work great, and
they seem to have a quality that's reminiscent of a simpler bygone
era. I also like rooting through piles of old stuff...
My wood-working lineage consists of... My Grandfather (died in 1969)
was a pro-woodcarver (product of Pre-WW I German apprenticeship
program). My uncle has his *MANY* *OLD* chisels collecting dust
(hopefully not rust) in a barn attic on Cape Cod :( I've initiated a
discussion with my uncle in hopes of acquiring the chisels... we'll
see.
SWMBO has forbidden me from purchasing any more tools until I finish
a few projects... but she didn't say I can't buy parts... ;) Anyone
have a #40 "parts" scrub plane?... just kidding. I have also been
accused of having an obscure sense of humor.
I like this list due to it's friendliness, info content, and general
disregard for high-tech (for it's own sake). I guess I'm a little
toasty when it comes to worshiping the God of high-tech solutions
(typically propounded to save the world)... telecom environment
excluded of course ;)
In closing, and being a newbee, I am a bit concerned that I won't be
able to add much to the list (as far as posting information is
concerned)... but I won't hesitate to get involved if I think I can!
Sincerely,
John Jennings
