Morning all,

Hi, I'm Roger, and I have an Oldtool problem.  Seems I discovered oldtools
when I was but a young lad.  Assisting dad, whilst doing general maintenence
on our humble abode.  I seem to recall a jack plane and a couple of pretty
neat hand saws (we werent allowed to use the handsaws) for some reason.
Plus a brace and full bitset rolled up in oiled cheese cloth.

I'm from about 35 miles southwest of Chicago,  Married, 45yo with 2 grown
boys, and one almost grown.  I am a carpenter by trade doing mostly
commercial work now that involves steel studs and lots of concrete.

I managed to weasel myself into one of the Galootapalooza events 3 years
ago, did the LaFox meet, and the rest as they say is history.  Like to hit
the fleas, and antique stores and can't seem to pass up a decent handsaw,
spokeshave or nice plane.

Wes Groot introduced me to the slippery slope of infills.  Thanks Wes!

I am considering trying to put together a half set of H&R's, and some wooden
moulding planes but havn't started down that slope yet.

I really enjoy reading all the querries and responses on the list.  And
someday hope to be able to answer some questions instead of just posing
questions.
