89473 "Aoun, Charles" <CAoun@s... 2001‑02‑06 Intro / Bio

> Hello All,
> 
> I've been lurking and enjoying this list for several weeks now, the latest
> debate about preservation and selling/conserving old things has finally
> motivated me to come out of hiding.   My exposure to old tools stems from
> a couple areas: 1) the desire to give new life to beautiful & still useful
> things, 2) my love of natural materials, especially wood, and 3) enjoying
> working with my hands.  
> 
> Some of my current & on-going projects: I'm in the process of restoring an
> old house that I bought 2 years ago, doing most of the work myself.  I'm
> also a knifemaker, although I've reverted to part-time status here.  For
> additional relaxation I'm always restoring old tools, some that my father
> has collected over the years, others that I started gathering myself. My
> daytime occupation is far removed from any of the above but provides me
> the financial means to pursue my avocations.
> 
> I am grateful to the members for sharing their knowledge and opinions in
> such a generous, selfless and civil manner, and hope I can give something
> back in the near future.

> Thanks
