Thanks again for the warm welcome!

Well I think I might be both a 'normite' and 'slope fodder'.

In just past few weeks I realize that working with just hand tools is very satisfying and ripping a big slab of hardwood on the TS is also nice.
The axminster catalogue is never far away, I I just love the Stanleys that my dad gave me. #78 and #4. His dad bought them for him when he was an apprentice cabinetmaker and now I've got them. I think I might need a few more.

I don't like sanding, but I love using the block plane. I think I might be in trouble hanging around here

PS I've posted some pictures of my first couple of goes at a project in another thread.

[QUOTE="syntec4, post: 83237, member: 1243"] Thanks again for the warm welcome! Well I think I might be both a 'normite' and 'slope fodder'. :) In just past few weeks I realize that working with just hand tools is very satisfying and ripping a big slab of hardwood on the TS is also nice. The axminster catalogue is never far away, I I just love the Stanleys that my dad gave me. #78 and #4. His dad bought them for him when he was an apprentice cabinetmaker and now I've got them. I think I might need a few more. :D I don't like sanding, but I love using the block plane. I think I might be in trouble hanging around here :P PS I've posted some pictures of my first couple of goes at a project in another thread. [/QUOTE]
