And fer the uninitiated,

, Colin is simply re-iterating the corollary to the oldtool axiom #2

"They ain't makin (some of) em any more"

which is well worth re-iterating, particulary to SWMBOS.......

"buy 'em well before you need them" 

and a sub-corollary ( known to only those who have bought neat spokeshaves
only to find out they're really leatherworking tools.... BUT, unlikely to
wash with the S/O, so remains as a mantra mumbled or chanted only by those
so afflicted.....)

 "buy' em before you know what they are"

Eric C
who was gonna use "SWMBO" but opted for S/O in deference
