265087 | John Gunterman <jgunterman@s...> | 2018‑02‑10 | Ahoy, again. |
Greetings fellow knuckle draggers. Been about 15 years, and what a long and very (very) strange trip it's been! Camped out up here in Craftsbury, VT for the next 2-3 years at a very small and remote College... with a beautiful woodshop. Only packed the "essentials" on this trip... It was hard to decide what to bring and what to leave behind, but I think I got the basics covered. https://i.imgur.com/zleCWPx.jpg <-- for those morbidly curious what made the "first cut" Time to make some shavings and work on getting my head and heart "right" again. -- Very Respectfully John Gunterman |

A nice selection of LN. Nice set of tools you brought, but no glory photos of your Uni wood shop? You can’t just tease us all and tell us it’s fantastic without at least one photo. BTW, Sterling, hmmm, that sounds familiar...One of my wife’s second cousins went to Sterling College on a hockey scholarship I think (and the only way that particular kid was going to college was if he could play sports).

Celebration time is upon us. Long lost beloved brother has retured. Halleluiah and jubilation :0) Seriously - great to hear from you John. Missed you. —Scott On Feb 10, 2018, at 4:09 PM, John Gunterman |

What Scott said-- Celebration time is upon us. Long lost beloved brother has retured. > Halleluiah and jubilation :0) And double that. Welcome back to the porch, Mr. Gunterman. That's some nice looking rust you got there. PK |

We are still moving from the old premise to the new, right across the street. The tailed apprentices are in place but need checking and possible adjusting after being moved (via a bucket-loader) and building new student workbenches, and clamp racks, and, and, and.... Since I'm T.A.'ing the class, and been hired as the "Woodshop Attendant", I'm going to be quite busy for the next few weeks, and I really can't be more delighted!!!! > One of my wife’s second cousins went to Sterling College on a hockey scholarship I think Don't think they ever had a hockey team, pretty small student body here (100'ish) I know they have a Nordic Ski Team, perhaps? |

All the best and really fantastic to hear from you. If any porch dwellers are too new to know what a “guntershave“ is, now you’ve met the man behind it all. Matthew Groves Springfield, MO |

Wow! The funny thing is I was thinking about you just the other day. I'm on some bicycle lists and someone mentioned studded tires and it reminded me of a post by *a* John Gunterman on the old ICEBIKE list years ago (though maybe since you last posted here.) Not sure if it was you and I didn't frequent the list as a rule but each time I see mention of studded tires it somehow gets me thinking about spokeshaves :) -Ken On Sat, Feb 10, 2018 at 2:09 PM, John Gunterman < jgunterman@s...> wrote: |

And it was only last week that I was describing the Gunterman shave to some fellow bodgers - and here the man is, popping up as though he’s just back from a long weekend. A long weekend indeed! so good to hear from you again. I’ll make myself a coffee in my Gunterman mug, park it on its spot on the bench, and make a shaving or two to celebrate you rreturn. Welcome home. Richard Wilson the Yorkshireman Galoot now in the border country of Nurthumbria |

John, It is indeed to see you back. Admittedly, it is also good to see some names that show up when a long lost friend returns. Hope you've lost none of your wit and grace (?)... My how fast 15 years goes, whether we're having fun or not. Bruce Z. Currently of Des Moines IA, but of Kearney, MO when you left. On Sat, Feb 10, 2018 at 4:09 PM, John Gunterman |

No squares? No drawknives? Nay, which is more and most of all, no spokeshaves? Are they entombed in the urns and sepulchers of mortality? You left before I came here, but its a pleasure to meet you at last. Tom Conroy channeling Sir Ranulph Crew (and not, as I always think, Sir Thomas Browne. Its an urn thing.) |

John, Welcome back to the Porch, my friend. We saved your rocker. You'll have to remove some dust and cobwebs, though. I was just thinking about you the other day when I heard that the Jorgensen [pipe] Clamp Co went out of business. Looking forward to hearing about your latest Old Tool adventure. John Ruth |

Welcome back, John. Still using the curly maple we bought through Pete Taran all those years ago and you kindly carried back from Pennsylvania. Came in handy for a desk I built for my wife a couple Christmases ago. Hope you're doing well. Robert Brazile > On 10 Feb 2018, at 22:09, John Gunterman |

John, Let me add a welcome back too. In case you don't remember, you offered a place in your tent to this wandering Texan at one of the last Crane's Auctions in New Hampshire before Richard retired. It sure beat sleeping in the car. Those were fun times, Mike DeLong On Sat, Feb 10, 2018 at 4:09 PM, John Gunterman < jgunterman@s...> wrote: |
