32766 Kurt McCullum <kdmccullum@b...> 1997‑12‑22 Bio


Hello everybody. I just signed up to the list again after almost two years away from it. My SWMBO finally gave in and let me use half of the garage as a shop. S o out went the car and in came all my hand tools and a big list of projects. I l eft a full bio before so I won't bore you with leaving one again.

Current projects are a doll cradle (Christmas present for my 2 year old) and a w orkbench. The finish on the cradle is drying so it I can chuck the workmate and finish my real workbench. A 3 1/2 inch thick top which is waiting for the legs.

The treadle lathe topic is of keen interest to me because I have designed one on paper using Roy Underhill's as a starting point. Has anybody built a spring pol e lathe? I've been toying with that idea too.

I don't have any Christmas gloats except for the extra cutters for my Stanley #2 50 which I should be getting from my SWMBO. That gives me all 25 cutters for thi s plane.

Look forward to being a part of the list
