Hi all,
I've been following this site for awhile, intro- I'm a floor refinisher by trade, but just have a great passion for woodworking in general, my obsession is festool, I own every festool tool available in NA. My other obsession is vintage hand tools, I just can't get enough. It's a newer interest for me, so I don't exactly have the best knowledge of what's what for certain tools. So I ask, where do I begin to become schooled on values of certain items, my biggest weakness is planes, I know almost nothing about them, therefore I normally steer clear of them. But I also pass up a lot of them that could be valuable. My favorite items are measuring items and chisels. (mostly slicks, and larger ones) but I am starting to collect socket chisels as well..
I am also in the process of building a nice wood shop that I will start re-sawing old beams and joists into reclaimed flooring. I just bought a Great uni-saw, jet dust containment, and a nice bridge wood jointer, have a few kapex saws and other mitres. my next purchase will be a Laguna bandsaw for resawing. So any advise for resawing would be great as well too.
Well thanks for reading and look forward to any valuable advice
Sam
