Actually, you're just the right age for scarring.....I mean, what's the point if "for life" only means another couple decades, hmmm?

To be fair, I'm pretty sure being one of two people involved in trying to extract a long dead calf from it's mother (you can guess how that went) and (on several occasions now) pulling lambs from their mothers has made me fairly resistant to being scarred too awfully by such things as a chest hair shaving dedicated to the grand biscuit.

Oh, and seeing lambs (some who were still alive when I saw them) torn to shreds by coyotes.

And I've also been to walmart, I've never seen a mullet like that on a two month old before.

These eyes have borne witness to many things in such a short timespan.

Wearing wrote another book, "The Essential Woodworker" which is excellent for the basics and more. If you want, I can go through my bookmarks this weekend and PM you some links for plane tills and chisel racks. I lean toward simplicity so I just have a sawtill on the wall that has some of my saws in it (about 15 crosscut and rip, 17 backsaws and 10 Japanese) and a chisel rack that has half of my chisels and gouges about 50 of them. A small corner cabinet with Japanese chisels and some block, bullnose and small infills is on the wall. My most used bench planes 3, 4, 4 1/2 (type 11 Stanleys of course), an infill smoother and an infill jack are on top of the workbench at one end with a small stand which holds a set of Stanley 750 and 720 chisels, some marking gauges and some marking knives. A set of Stanley planes- 3, 4, 4 1/2, 5, 5 1/2, 6, 7, and 8 are on a shelf under the workbench. Other planes are in a tool chest. A wall chest is is the works to hold my hollows and rounds, beading, reed and moulding planes. The Stanley 45s and 50s are in another tool chest with the wooden plow planes. Handtool collecting is as addictive as knife collecting.:D

the "working wood #3" by wimon james also speaks to setting up a shop. it's a big big book. covers ... everything, including restoration, and more!

i'll have to check out "essential woodwork" soon for the library if nothing else...

yar, saw tills...

yeah, any info appreciated!

it's worth than knife collecting, which is often random... like with Stanleys, Baileys... gotta have them all, give or take... #3 cheap OEM, #4s (and OEM variants are easy), #5 Sargent, #6C, #7c, #8c, #45 (and two boxes of cutters, complete), and more... chisels... so many kinds. one of those tool chests had a NICE smattering of bench chisels and gouges. not complete, but good. Czech mortisers. will eventually have a couple sets of this and that. have a friend liquidating some lee valley and lie nielsen hotness. $$$$. might eventually spend more on those than the table saw.

good times. clean grain :D
 
also, stanley folding chisel...

get one !

Nope. That's it. One of the more memorable things that Guyon has been involved in.

Ohhh, buddy, it's cute that you think that. If you only knew.... :eek:

In other news, I am uncertain if I fully typed out a post here and just forgot to click "post reply" and lost it when I went to another tab, or if I did post it and it was so awful that the powers-that-be mercifully sent it straight to wherever bad posts go. :confused:

Now we are livin on the edge, you rebel you!!!




Whether or not.... Whether.... Why do most people add the "or not" to whether.... Doesn't whether kind of already imply "or not" ?? But when i type it out without the "or not" part is doesnt sound right... Weird... Perfect 420 thought HAHAHA

a) you don't even fish :

b) measuring implies error... if you can copy, without enumerating, you win - me
