    Wild Idea

    I had this wild idea (brain phart) today, that I might bring along my wish book for others to look at during the WWing show in Olathe. My copied Catalogue of WF&G Barnes foot powered tools.

    Anybody think its a good idea?

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

    Well, if I was going to be there, I would enjoy looking at it.

    You never know, you may be sharing your "wish book" with someone who knows were some of your dreams a just gathering dust.

    Tools for Working Wood?

    Joel is always interested in making usful tools. Perhaps he would be willing to maybe make a "kit" of necessary hardware we could assemble ourselves.
    Maybe we should have an opinion poll and see if a couple hundred of us would be willing to determine the most wanted tool for production.
    Personally I would be interested in a lathe, but I'm not sure what type might be best. CME ToolWorks has a nice flywheel one, but Roy Underhill has a springpole one in his book that looks interesting too.
    Just a thought.

    I'd love to see it, after joining this forum and seeing some of your work and finding out that you're almost in my backyard I was glad to hear that you'd be at the show so I could see some of your work. I'll likely be there on Fri and Saturday if I like the sessions.
