-825 Woodroffe F <F.Woodroffe@c...> 1970‑01‑01 Bio
Time to announce my presence in this list, I've been looking long enough.

My name is Fred Woodroffe and I live in the UK in South London.

Originally a hand Compositor in the printing trade, I then had a 
brain-storm and trained as an internist. Now retired, I find life busier 
than it ever was.

Being interested in tools in general and old tools in particular, I 
joined the Tool and Trades History Society (TATHS). Being a slow sort of 
chap, I now find myself editor of the Newsletter, and a Committee member. 
TATHS is a very active Society and has many strings to its bow. 

Since I've been looking at the "oldtools" list, I find that it is at 
present an "oldwoodworkingtools" list. There are many other tools out 
there, we ought to be looking at those too. Also I find that there is 
still a big residue of rec.woodworking, many posts and questions relate 
to woodworking techniques rather than the tools used.

I'll await the flame with my finger on the delete button!

			Fred
