After years of trimming balsa with a razor plane, and picking up pieces 
of crashed radio controlled airplanes, I've gotten into woodworking. I 
find hand tools particularly satisfying, especially when I've learned to 
tune and sharpen them by reading galoot epistles. I have a modest 
assortment of tools now, and have enjoyed making toys, clocks, boxes and 
other small stuff. I put the boxes to good use for the jigsaw puzzles I 
make. My favorite was the poster of the Studley tool chest which I 
desecrated by cutting into puzzle pieces including scale cutouts of many 
tools.

 In real life I am a theological librarian. I live in Mesquite, Texas, 
but haven't tried working mesquite wood yet. Hope to get over to the 
SWTCA in Arlington tomorrow.
