Retired emergency physician in NE, PA, USA (don't hold it against me, I can actually work in wood and metal!). Just as in medicine, I am a "Jack of all trades", and always looking to add to my skills and knowledge base.
Married 33 years as of 2024. Live on a small farmstead, but to date, we have raised only dogs. I have learned, from my neighbors, that farming is HARD WORK!
Although I have worked in wood for a long time, my father in law helped me buy my first metal lathe, and taught me metalworking and welding... the illness progressed from there. It took me a long time to learn to think in thousands vs. inches!
I have been on this website for only a brief period, but love it. I will again say, the Brits have made the finest tools ever produced... YES, I am a tool junkie! I love old tools, especially of UK origin.
I work with an emphasis on hand tool use, although I own a planer/jointer, table saw, band saw, etc. to do most of the heavy lifting.
I have amassed thousands of old tools from local auctions and yard sales. I need to SELL!
