-808 "Taylor, William J" <William.J.Taylor@d...> 1970‑01‑01 FW: Bio

ok, ok, mea culpa.  I'm one of the fifty or so lurkers who have been 
duly chastised.

My name is Bill Taylor.  I work for NASA LeRCin the Launch Vehicle 
Project Office's Denver Resident Office.  Yes, rocket scientists are 
not all normites.  I was transferred to Denver this summer, so I am 
still trying to find out where everything is.  Does any body out there 
have any recommendations for good flea markets, antique shops and 
other sources of old tools, they would care to recommend? We live in 
Elizabeth, which is south and east of Denver.

I come by my wood working interest though genetics, my grandfather was 
a carpenter and my father did wooodworking as a hobby.  I got my first 
Stanley hammer  at age 5, it is in dire need of a handle replacement 
now.  Our new house will finally allow me to have a shop, one stall in 
a three car garage, unheated at the moment, I have to complete 
finishing the basement.  I am interested in hand tools mostly because 
my three daughters cannot and will not be excluded from making sawdust 
and shavings with their dad, and I feel a lot safer if they are not 
around too many power tools. 

As far as acquiring tools, I am just now moving beyond acquiring the 
necessities for house maintenance and am looking forward to filling a 
shop with good tools.  I look forward to continuing to particpate in 
this group, and hope that some of you will find my $0.02 worth to be 
worth at least that much.

Thanks
