I'll begin with a lie and a challenge... I have enough tools. If you guess what tool I'm specifically thinking of as I write this, it's yours. It's a tool I use everyday and is the foundation for every other tool I use. Just about, anyway. I really don't want to bore anyone, so most of what I would say will most likely come out over time in posts. Briefly, my grandfather and great uncle could be blamed for my use of hand tools. It's the way I grew up. I have only myself to blame for their apparent breeding within my shop. I never knew they were suppose to be kept separate in things like saw tills and plane cabinets for much too long. I have lurked, off and on, for some time and due to the pesky, recurring encouragement of a few here have decided to delurk--much to the detriment of all concerned. So I welcome the opportunity to share what little I do possess in exchange for the wealth of information which is the OldTools list.

But, on reconsideration, I'll change my answer to what Norm *should* consider the most important safety item in the shop instead of his glasses -- yer brain. cur - and if it's anything like mine right now, it ain't worth shipping. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

I'm voting for a knife, but he is a clever rascal and may indeed refer to a razor. On Friday, September 30, 2005, at 10:29PM, |

It can't be brains or brawn. He said he'd send it to whoever guessed and , well, I'd need a picture at the very least. Would that be postage collect in a crate? "Hello, Charlie's Morgue and Salvage. We have your parts" I guess knife. yours, Scott ********** Scott Grandstaff, Box 409, Happy Camp, CA 96039 ********* Tools:http://users.snowcrest.net/kitty/scott/scotts/tools/tools.html PageWorks:http://www.snowcrest.net/kitty/hpages/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Nobody has guessed a "hand" as being the foundation. I could see it. And, I've already got one. Matthew Groves ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
