    I can help with most neander things except iron planes, I use transitional and woodies except for the specialized metal planes. #'s 45, 46, 55, 95.
    I guess I am what they are starting to call a hybrid woodworker, I have and use a tablesaw I built many years ago, a bandsaw and various tailed sanders and handtools as well as a thickness planer.
    I do have a complete mid 1800's shop in a cargo trailer that I occassionally give WWing demonstrations at Steam Shows and living history get togethers.
    My wife and I are both disabled and my more modern shop is in my basement and I am available most anytime.

    If you have the time, I will make time to help you all I can.

    I live in the far southeast corner of Nebraska, 10 miles from Missouri and 4 miles from Kansas on Hiway 73.
    They won't let me use my real name on here so local people will not know who you are talking about if you ask for Harry instead of Jr. (Junior).

    Hand tools are very modern- they are all cordless
    NORMAL is just a setting on the washing machine.

    I'm in the Albany, NY area and I would be happy to share what little I know about plane rehab and sharpening. I'm retired and available most of the time.
