Thursday Night Handtool Chats

[Alan DuBoff]

I do know how to use other tools and immensely enjoy talking about all things hand tools.

Sure, but those only suppliment saws...

Seriously, I didn't mean to imply we could only pick your brain on saws, I know there's a lot more inside of there that we can all gain from!

[Mike Wenzloff]

Oh I know. Just funnin' ya.

But I do really love saws. What I would really like is to sit around on the porch with a couple locals and talk tools and methods. Those days are nearly passed, but do remember that form when I was young and the men would stop by to pick up saws at my grandfather's after they were sharpened.

An electronic version of chatting on the porch would be welcomed.

Take care, Mike
back to the shop...

[Alan DuBoff]

An electronic version of chatting on the porch would be welcomed.

Absolutely agree. Would be nice also, and didn't want to imply that tools would be the only viable topics.

A lot of things to share, and much to learn, from all of us.

[Don Baer]

I would gladly sit on the sidelines and learn.

[Tom Stovell]

I can't help but think that chat is somehow a technology that hasn't been exploited to it's full potential. If it's possible to incorporate some media (pics, PDFs, webpages, etc...) to go along with the chat, it seems a lot is possible.

Alan,
The way the chat was set-up before it was possible to post a picture into the discussion. I posted several pics from a hosting site when we were discussing work benches. I'd hope a new chat area would have the same features....and I'm looking forward to this idea of having tool makers come and share with us. (Do you think we should invite that D. Anderson fella sometime? )

[Dave Anderson NH]

That'd be pushing the edge of the envelope Tom. Ya don't wanna invite bums like that.

[James Owen]

In
.....Can we get a count of hands ?? All in favor say Aye.

AYE!!!
Sounds like a terrific idea.
