My Fellow Galoots I am not a crook , no wait thats richards bio, I am married with children . Swmbo and three swmbettes and two TWMO (those who must obey ) . I am a Postman so be nice or i may go postal on you . I also do renovations and make furniture , mostly country style with heavy shaker influence. My favourite wood is white pine and second and third is also pine .If they made aftershave that smelled like pine I would use that too. My garage is sanctuary with a woodstove .In the dead of winter with a fire roaring and a cool beer a galoot can ponder his next project or just sit and hide . I am a gatherer of tools , I have six woodies ,a dozen or so metal including one monster union 8 with optional drilled holes from the MofA , a 45 now complete thanks to stan and several buckets of saws ,bits ,braces ,gauges chisels Guitars , whoops another part of life slipped in , my favourite is an 83 strat . Not above using tailed apprentices when working but for fun its hand tools only . I am a cronic bottomfeeder and yardsale maniac but i didnt know how bad it was till i counted the saws in my shop , after 20 I stopped counting because you never know when a neighbor or ten may want to borrow a saw and its good to be preparred. I enjoy texas musicians (Stevie ray and zz top) and classical guitar (beats me). I live in the great white north ,sackville a subburb of Halifax Nova Scotia Canada .Take I95 north to the end and turn right. Have been mostly sitting back and hoarding bites of knowledge from the porch but you will hear from me when i feel like my two cents worth is relevent . Have a Great Day Patrick |

Patrick, >I am a Postman so be nice or i may go postal on you . I must say, I hadn't thought of the old tool possibilities in going postal, but an adze or a nice wide slick would be a class act and a refreshing change from the ho-hum everyday AK47. >I live in the great white north ,sackville a subburb of Halifax Nova Scotia >Canada .Take I95 north to the end and turn right. Well heck, you can't have an AK47, anyway, poor devil! I'd loan you one of mine (all us 'Americans' have 'em) but I'm not even sure you can go postal, you being Canadian and all. At any rate, welcome to the porch. David Barnett Northampton, MA |

Welcome to the porch Patrick. > I am a Postman so be nice or i may go postal on you . Remember Galoots, when a Canadian postie makes this threat he simply means he will go on strike, so you don't have to be nice, unless you are waiting for payment from a Canadian. ;^) >I live in the great white north ,sackville a subburb of Halifax Nova Scotia >Canada Warning: U.S. Galoots stay away from the Canadian maritime provinces, they harbour the last unpillaged hordes of Canuck old tools and you lot have enough of your own in New England. ;^) Down a Moosehead with us Patrick, and I highly recommend Pine-tar soap. best, Marvin Paisner Kootenay Lake, BC - and PEI use to be. |
