 Hi there i am 39 and work for a small company who manufacture hardwood
 conservatories, being a carpenter/joiner by trade. I must admit to not
 knowing a lot about this internet gubbins, so please forgive me if
 things go pear shaped.On the subject of tools and tat I have been
 collecting for about 12 years accross a broad spectrum of
 trades.Whenever possible I like to get out there and see what I can
 find at carboots, auctions, garage sales, flea markets,etc. As it
 happens we spent 5 weeks visiting my girlfriends sister in San-diego
 over the 2000/2001 holiday break and did my fair share of swapmeets and
 yard sales ,we enjoyed every second!!.I live in Leicestershire U.K.and
 stumbled accross your forum while I was searching for tool related web
 sites and chat rooms. My hobby is collecting old tools and also
 displaying them at vintage rallies. I do not know if you have heard of
 DAVID STANLEY TOOL AUCTIONS but I attend all of his sales as they are
 just up the road from my home.Okay sorry to be going on a bit here but
 if you would not mind perhaps you could let me know of anymore useful
 websites etc so that I can get more info about U.S.A. manufactured
 tools I have in my collection i.e L.L.DAVIS and CHAPLIN'S PATENT
 planes. Many thanks, Andy (toolsntat)

 p.s thanks to Jim Thompson, the old millrat in Riverside, CA
