Greetings, gentlemen and ladies (?),

I am a lurker coming out from under the porch. Too many dogs under there.
I'm a carpenter and woodworker who discovered that finish work using
galoot methods is very nice. I knock off the big pieces with electrons
and then, ahhhhh, silence, less sawdust, and now I can listen to music!
Don't have to go to the spa either. Anyone else noticed what a lot of
planing  and hand sharpening does to the upper body musculature? And it's
VERY aerobic.

I also have a bunch of planes and I rescue old rustballs and sell them on
Ebay. (Don't say it. It won't faze me.) I've built some of my own tools
and really like to do that.

So hello to all and I'm just as opinionated as the rest of you, as you'll
probably find out. 

Phil E.
