251854 Ron Harper <kokomorontoo@g...> 2014‑11‑25 Re: The future of OldTools
As some other Galoots have said, i believe  that the format of this list is
just fine. I saw us trashed on another site as being "archaic".  That
caused a bit of a grin.. Yes we are! And kinda proud of it.

 Obviously someone else is doing the work and I benefit gratis, but
I really would hate to see this become a forum with all sorts  of
cubbyholes for different highly specialized interests. Those places already
exist.  I used to be part of the gang over at Wood Central Hand Tools,but
it got to the place where there was a whole lot of technique talk about
cordless demons and how dumb it was to use hand tools for lots of things.
We don't get that here, and I am grateful. Would be glad to help
financially, if the changes call for it.
