103633 Scott Quesnelle <scottq@c...> 2002‑02‑21 Bio
Hello,

My name is Scott Quesnelle. I am 27 years old. I have been lurking on the
list for the last month or so. I live in Guelph, Ont. I work as a Software
Developer (Computer bit herder). I am currently starting to put together
my shop. So far I am babysitting a Frank Klaus style bench (That needs
flattening but don't want to plane someone else's bench) A few tailed
apprentices. My meager plane collection includes a Record #5, a no-name
russian made horned woodie, and an Alex Mathieson wooden smoother that I'm
trying to rehabilitate, and most of a stanley #5, also have a 6 inch
falcon that is lacking a capiron . My saw collection consists of one Home
hardware
crosscut saw, one Canadian Tire backsaw, and a Disston & Sons D8 5pt. Rip
saw. All three need a sharpening.

I currently work out of the basement of my townhouse. Hoping to have a
more permanent shop. I also do blacksmithing when the weather is warm.

So anyone know any good spots to hunt for rust in this area?
Know anyone that I can send my saws to for sharpening? (Want to see and
feel what a sharp saw is like before I attempt it)

I am also looking for anyone in the area that would be willing to spend a
bit of time teaching me or letting me watch them work. Will give
sweat-equity.

Anything that I missed?

Thanks,

Scott
