32876 <joehuld@p...> 1997‑12‑26 bio Joe Huld
Hale the porch and all gallots thereon:
I have been a user of old tools for at least 20 years and a part time
dealer for about 10. I'm not a collector, I'm NOT, I'm Not, if I get
more than 1 I usually sell the other.
I live in South Pasadena California with SWMBO who is an antique dealer
and who wants me to forget all other hobbies and learn to make
furniture in the Gustav Stickley style. We have two sons neither of whom
shows the slightest tendancy to work with wood or metal. My cache of old
tools and unfinished projects are guarded by a ferocious attack trained
basset hound.
Aside from wood and old tools i enjoy blacksmithing and machine work,
but before you send me to shine the spitoon nearly all of my machine
shop is driven by flat leather belts from an over head line shaft. Right
now I'm seeking a small belt driven metal working planer and would trade
all manner of wood working tools for one or leads toward purchase of
one.
Last but not least unlike the rest of you I'm somewhat computer phobic
and barely able to operate it. I only owwn it because I know a Galoot
who bought a new one and lusted after a few tools I had.
Looking forward to meeting all and sharing my thoughts and crackpot
opinions.
