78571 Jay & Renae & Tim tjr@p... 2000‑04‑30 My Bio
Hello I am Jay Murphy and I am finally posting my Bio.  I live out in the
cow pastures of Brownsmead Oregon (near Astoria).  I am in the US Coast
Guard where I have worked for the past 22 years.  I am currently stationed
aboard a 180 ft buoy tender whose keel was laid in 1941. I am learning about
old tools and collecting / using them when I can.  I have several tailed
tools but I am sliding down that slippery slope towards hand tools more and
more. I have a much to learn and hope to contribute as much as I can.  My 15
year old son also enjoys working with wood and is learning more and more.
