Interesting conversation.  I've been hanging out here since the mid 
90's, but I haven't posted in probably 10 years and decided it was time 
to let everyone I'm still here - Its good to see many names from the 
past still here as well. My kids tell me email is so "passay", but I 
still like it. Seems like everyone texts these days instead. Many 
memories from the past - staying up late on a Sunday nite to get first 
shot at the FMM guys who posted after midnight; the "meet" at the Shaker 
Village in Hancock Mass where Roy Underhill was doing demos, the Gunter 
shave, the video of Galoot shops (still have it and can probably make 
copies if anyone is interested), the Bill Spicer auctions in Rhode 
Island (there's one this coming Saturday), might even stop in at the MJD 
auction in a few weeks in Nashua.(assume there is still tailgating in 
the parking lot)

In Connecticut it seems like tag sales are a thing of the unless you're 
looking for kids stuff.  "Tools" usually means a couple of screwdrivers 
and worn out battery powered tools. Same with Flea markets although 
there is an occasional good find.  I've got a lot of stuff to sell and 
I'll probably start doing an FS list in the next few months.  My son 
turned out be a pretty good cabinet maker (working in Greater Boston) 
although he uses mostly tailed apprentices. The other thing is YouTube - 
videos on just about any subject that you want to try (and some you don't).
