Welcome, pull up a chair, make yourself at home. Be warned... you can
=20 never have too many saws or too many chisels. And planes, be very
careful when storing planes. We have found that placing two smooth
planes next to each other in a closed tool chest will result in a nest
of block planes. I do agree though that you should fix the holes in your
tool kit. I'ld suggest a good Russell Jennings auger and a dowel plate
to make the plugs.

I live in Sweden, with a mixed biologist background (some research,
some bioinfoirmatics currently unemployed teacher). I don't like noisy
tools, so the this way of working comes natural to me. I=B4ve done
mostly green wood stuff and wittling, but aldso have a bunch of things
that needs to be made (starting with a toolchest that is not a mil
surplus ugly box with a cluttered interior), and also need to fix the
holes in my toolkit (the egg-beater drill needs a new chuck, I am short
of chisels and decent saws[1]. And planes; all you can find used here
is economy grade wooden ones, usually ones that have spent the last 40
years in a leaky barn.

[1] I'm thinking about an order from www.dick.biz for a set of
    japanse ones, since both usefull chisels and saws are hard to
    find around here.
