162493 "William Edwards" <williame@3...> 2006‑08‑09 Re: bio and introduction
Dear Galoots, Having been a fairly long-time lurker, I have decided,
partly as a result of the (almost certainly misplaced) view that I may,
occasionally, have something useful to contribute, to join those
assembled on the porch. I stumbled across the porch a fair time ago
while trawling for information on hand-tool methods of work and have
found the archive an invaluable (and unparalleled) resource.

My interest in hand tools/ old tools began simply as an attempt to make
stuff without expending too much money on finger-removing machinery.
Initially, I primarily focused on making what may loosely be described
as joinery (a few doors, the odd replacement sash, some bookcases, etc)
in keeping with the Georgian building it was designed to go in. More
recently, I have made a few pieces of what the generous might regard as
furniture (the largest project being a kitchen table).

Needless to say, I have since acquired rather more tools than I started
with, and have become rather more interested in the use of hand tools as
an object of study rather than simply an end to making things

I should also mention that although a native of Warwickshire, I live in
London (UK).

Regards,

Bill Edwards
