Welcome, John
  2-1/2 years on the Gulf Coast and you return to 
Minnesnowta in the dead of winter....brrrrrr!!!
Sit down over here next to the wood stove and have
a cup of mulled cider.  Sounds like you're well on
your way to assembling a starter set of hand saws,
Planes, braces, etc...now about those type 11s...
you really don't want them....there's other types
that are lots better....but I tell ya what, just
so you don't think you wasted your time...send 'em
to me and I'll not tell anyone you had them ;-)
