30271 <ScottA911@a...> 1997‑11‑10 Bio: Scott Adams
My name is Scott Adams. First off, no I don't draw Dilbert :-)

I'm 34 years old and live in Columbus, Ohio. Working for Wendy's ( The
BEST hamburgers in the bidness) as a Programmer Analyst pays the bills
and allows me to cruise the net during lunch. I'm married with 3 kids which
keeps me busy evenings and weekends.

My interest in woodworking started from watching my dad in his workshop.
Most of his tools were of the tailed variety with the only edged hand tools 
consisting of a set of Stanley wood chisels and a block plane.

Two years ago I inherited some tools when my grandfather passed away. One
of the items was a Stanley #6 fore plane that had seen better days but with a

little cleaning, rust removal and a new knob is a decent user. This plus my
work as a member of the Ohio Railway Museum helping restore and maintain
old trolley and interurban equipment got me started on the galoot path.

I finally joined OldTools after lurking for 5-6 months. It still amazes me
the vast
amount of knowledge available on the net that only 2 or 3 years ago would
have
out of reach of the majority of people. This newfound knowledge has been put

to use when treasure hunting at the many garage/tag/estate sales I go to.
Now
when I go, hand tools are the first thing I look for.
