Hello Galoots,

My name is Carter Altman.  I live in Albuquerque, NM.  I have been sliding
down the slippery slope for all of 7 months now.  Reading the list and
visiting many of your web pages has been very helpful.

How I became a Galoot acolyte:

After several months of pondering how I could convince SWMBO that I need
$500 - $1000 worth of spinning screaming metal I remembered an article by
Ian Kirby in FWW and the old Jack plane I got from my father because I
thought it looked kinda cool.  After 7 months I have been to the flea
market, got my first ebay star, learned about Scary Sharp, and now spend my
time pondering how to convince SWMBO that I need $500 - $1000 worth of quiet
soothing hand tools.

I have completed two projects, an end table out of ash and a step stool out
of cherry.  I am now working on another end table of cherry(SWMBO did not
like the ash…FS: hand made ash end table).  With each new project I am
trying to rely more and more on the hand tools I have and the hand tools I
*must* have.

I have been lurking for several months but feel that it is time that I step
on up to the porch and shake everyone’s hands.

Thanks again for sharing all of the great information.

hat.)

I am sorry, Carter Altman.  I also want a hat, but it would seem that
you and I are the only two galoots in the world who want one. Everybody
else is asking for t-shirts.  

T-shirts only last a year or two, but hats seem to last forever.  Why
can't we have hats?

I WANT A HAT!!!!!!

I'd go for acouple of hats if they did a run of hats.

I sent this to Dennis already:

Just a thought, what about setting up with these guys ?  They will let you 
design the artwork then print it on just about anything... and they handle 
all the money... we are using them for an automotive web site I frequent.

I know it wouldn't have the cachet of being a specific "edition" of shirt 
or other, but it might make life a WHOLE LOT easier...

Also don't have to set it up to "make money"..

Sounds great for me, but I doubt you'd like their prices.

Dennis - who is NOT in it for the "money", cause there isn't any

Josh,

You can get thin brass plates at just about any hobby shop.  Ones that deal
in model railroads and the like.  Most of them cary both brass and aluminum
shapes plates, etc from K&S manufacuring.  If you need anything very thick
though you had better go to Mcmaster & Carr.  They carry the thicker stuff
and let you order small pieces.
