    Sidelar Tool Museum

    Saw a story on this on Cool Tools. The guy started collecting tools to use for his business. Now he is an obsessed collector.

    Holy cow they need a new website! My connection is bad, but I never did get a page to load all the way.

    Should clarify, I do have the worlds slowest "highspeed" internet, grrrrr. Costs a fortune as well.

    Mark,
    I have had the privilege of seeing his collection up close and personal. He hosted a MWTCA meeting there a couple years ago. The collection is attached to his woodworking business, and he just opened the doors to us. Wow - The man has too many plow planes. This event was attended by the Schwarz, who had a slide show on the Pop Wood website shortly after, may still be there.

    I was at the meeting that weekend too. His shop is just a couple miles from my house. Very cool stuff!
    Sharp solves all manner of problems.
