First, thanks to all for a very educational and entertaining list.
I was brought to woodworking by the love of split cane fly rods and a
desire to make them, and by the recent inheritance of a number of fine old
tools from my grandfather and the desire to keep him near through their
use. I'm having limited but promising results at both.
I raise field trial retrievers as a profession, so the majority of my wood
experience is in application rather than creation ;-).
We have been married for twenty five years, and we have a daughter about to
begin college.
While lurking on this list I have been fortunate to have private email
contact with a few of the higher profile posters, and I have been treated
with patience and extraordinary kindness.
This is a nice place to be.
Steve
