-8 "Michael Adkins" <adkinsm@r...> 1970‑01‑01 Obligatory Bio

I've been lurking way to long......

I need to post a message about the ScarySharp (TM) Method, but I 
guess I need to send my Bio first.

I'm an Aerospace Engineer for the U.S. Navy working in the research
and design aspects of weapon systems.  I'm 34 and single.  I live in 
the middle of the California high desert about 150 miles from 
anywhere important.  Needless to say, I have a hard time finding 
woodworking resources.  I usually drive to L.A. to get wood.

I'm just starting getting into woodworking with both power tools and 
hand tools.  For now, I'll use whichever method seems to be most 
effective.  I like using hand planes since I can own a whole lot of 
them for the price of one power tool, and I get the job done just as 
quickly and accurately.

I just purchased #4, #5 and #7 and #9 1/2 Stanley hand planes.  I 
think they will keep me busy for a while.  I just got to figure how 
to sharpen them real good.  I like the ScarySharp (TM) method, I got 
some questions, but I'll post another message about it.

If anyone knows some good tool/wood resources in the L.A. area, send 
me a message.

Michael
