-841 "Mr. Zitur (anchor@m...)" 1970‑01‑01 I found you
Greetings
           I got my computer a year ago and have been looking for an old
tool group since. I found the Electronic Neanderthal, Jon Zimmer,Falcon-wood
and the blood and guts of Mr. Leach but knew there was a place like this out in 
net land.The charter suggests that new subscribers give a brief bio--so here
goes.I am Chuck Zitur from Billings, Montana.I sell wholesale building
maintenance supplies for a living.I am a collector of older and antique
tools.  I began collecting planes and still like and pursue them but my
current interest is in boring devices such as drills, braces,
augers,screwdrivers,bits and hollow handled tool holders.My most recent find
is an Ohio plow plane in rosewood. It is a number 104. It is in excellent
shape if it were not for the wedge which the owner must have regularly
tapped into place with a sledgehammer. Oh well!!! It matches my ivory tipped
E Baldwin plow that only has 1 1/2 arms. If you turn it just right on the
shelf....... I am delighted to belong to this group and look forward to
receiving the benefit of your collective knowledge and hope that I will be
able to contribute in turn.
