Hello Galoots,

I sent a bio before but I must not have used the correct address as it has
never been put in with the other bio's.  Soooooooo here goes again!!

I live in Thermopolis, Wyoming with SWMBO and my son, used to live with
three kids but two have grown and gone.  They still stop buy for money once
in a while but now live else where.  I have always lived in Wyoming, oops,
well all but six months I have lived in Wyoming.

I have always loved things made of wood and have always played around a
little with wood.  I am just learning the "Old Tools Way", it is slower and
harder but much more satisfying.  Hell i was never any good with the power
tools anyway so now i have an excuse.  I started a lot of projects that
turned into ashtrays over the years....and i must say my ashtry collection
is excellent!!

So here I am just a beginner and enjoying this list server with you
"Galoots" very much.  I learn something new each day i read your emails.  I
have a few old tools handed down to me by my grandfather and uncle that are
my pride and joy.  I will be looking to add to my collection this summer at
auctions and yard sales as you all have opened the world of " Bottom
Feeding" to me.  I will strive to improve my bottom feeding to the point you
can all be proud of me and let me stay under the porch on a regular basis to
listen to all the good stories and dos and donts of the old way.....

Oh and by the way when you live in Wyoming;  full of cottonwood, pine and
sagebrush the feel of a good piece of oak can be a sexual experience.....

Rick
