Morning all, Hi, I'm Roger, and I have an Oldtool problem. Seems I discovered oldtools when I was but a young lad. Assisting dad, whilst doing general maintenence on our humble abode. I seem to recall a jack plane and a couple of pretty neat hand saws (we werent allowed to use the handsaws) for some reason. Plus a brace and full bitset rolled up in oiled cheese cloth. I'm from about 35 miles southwest of Chicago, Married, 45yo with 2 grown boys, and one almost grown. I am a carpenter by trade doing mostly commercial work now that involves steel studs and lots of concrete. I managed to weasel myself into one of the Galootapalooza events 3 years ago, did the LaFox meet, and the rest as they say is history. Like to hit the fleas, and antique stores and can't seem to pass up a decent handsaw, spokeshave or nice plane. Wes Groot introduced me to the slippery slope of infills. Thanks Wes! I am considering trying to put together a half set of H&R's, and some wooden moulding planes but havn't started down that slope yet. I really enjoy reading all the querries and responses on the list. And someday hope to be able to answer some questions instead of just posing questions. Roger Turnbough MWTCA member FOYBIPO South of Chicago (Ralphs southside neighbor almost) |

Thanks Louis, and thanks Ken Bob in Sherbrooke=20 -----Message d'origine----- De : Robert Fortier=20 Envoy=E9 : 3 d=E9cembre, 2004 09:42 =C0 : oldtools Objet : RE: [oldtools] bio Fellow rusthunters Due to the couples of messages requesting plans, here is what I propose. I'= ll do some archeologic research in my shop (!!!) to find the plans, and if = someone here with a website would be kind enough to make them a pdf format,= and host them, well this is what I'll do. However, be warned that IIRC these where written in French, and maybe metri= c. I am willing to translate any vital information before the scanning. What do you think ??? Bob in Sherbrooke, who is looking forward to finishing a small drop-leaf ta= ble this afternoon, all hand-made, no electron burned !!!!

But you need one of these... http://www.altonbowman.com/donkey.html I wonder what a Holtey version would cost :-) BugBear (happy slope greaser) |
