113021 "Michael Thomas" <thomas_mk@m...> 2003‑01‑08 BIO.
HELLO ALL:  This is my BIO.

My name is MICHAEL K. THOMAS. I am located in southern
Ontario Canada. Near Lake Erie.
I have been woodworking for 35 years. Mostly as a hobby.
My tool assortment includes Old hand tools, New hand tools
and some Big tools [with tails].
Past projects include book ends, serving trays,trinket boxes,
toy boxes , chess boards,shelves, picture frames [from scratch],kitchen 
cupboards.
I have done a bit of furniture repair and refinishing.
At present my shop is not fully set up, witch will be quite small.
I moved 3 years ago,now doing renovations and decorating,
witch should be done this year.
I will be retiring from my 40+hr/wk job in 1 1/2 years [FREEDOM 52],
[MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE TRADE]. So I will have a lot more time to
work in the shop and do tool researches.
I also started a second hobby of board drafting, witch gets me into
project designing.
Now for why I joined the TOOL LIST.
I find the topics of discussion very interesting and informative,
even when I know nothing about the subject.
I find myself going to the books I have,witch is quite limited
as far as old tools goes,to get more info.
With a small shop I am going to have to rely on hand tools more.
So I will be out rust hunting more than I have in the past.

  MICHAEL THOMAS: ONT. CA.
