-649 KEVIN.D.SCHOTT@s... 1970‑01‑01 bio

     
     Greetings all.  I've been lurking for about a year 
     now and figured its about time I did the bio thing.
     
     My name is Kevin and I started woodworking about 
     4 years ago.  Well, wood *working* might be a 
     stretch.  Like many others, I've got about 5 
     projects in various states of incompleteness 
     and almost no time to spend in the shop.  My 
     interest in oldtools is from a user point of 
     view, although by tracking the actual amount of 
     time I've spent making shavings lately you'd 
     probably be justified in calling me a collector. 
     I've put together a nice set of tools, including 
     a few doubles because I couldn't resist.  I'm a 
     big fan of flea markets and auctions, but I've 
     made a few purchases on FMM too.  Can't think of 
     any more tools that I *need*, but that hasn't 
     slowed me down much.
     
     Some confessions: I have several p*w*r t**ls.  I 
     enjoy both p*w*r and hand tools, though I can 
     see myself heading toward using hand tools more 
     frequently. I like Norm, Roy, and FWW.  
     
     I can't keep up with all the notes OLDTOOLS.  
     Sometimes I have to skip a couple of weeks or so, 
     but I regularly check-out FMM and I also try to 
     keep up when there is an interesting thread.  For 
     now, I like the how-to and how/why-things-work 
     threads (ex. workbench debate, Norris Schmorris, 
     etc.) more than historical stuff.
     
     That's about it.  My next project is a bench, and 
     even though I'll use a few p*w*r* t**ls in its 
     construction, I hope to share a picture of the 
     final product sometime in the fall (right now its 
     a pile of stickered lumber in my back yard).
     
     Thanks, and I'll try to contribute when I can, 
     but for now I think I'm more on the receiving end 
     of the neat info in OLDTOOLS.
