New Neander additions

[John Miliunas]

As for that comment about us being Bad, Bad people--- you're right. We cheerfully admit it. All old tools and hand tools groups are rightly known as the support groups from hell.

Huh? Now even *I* don't think you guys are THAT bad! Now THIS is going to sound really strange, but I'm kind of enjoying this little side-trip I've taken!

[Herb Blair]

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now you got me doing it!!! Asked LOML for LV LA block for Xmas and ordered a restored #4 from a friend that does such in Florida. GEZZZ!!!!!!

Terry,
Next thing you'll be putting woody siding on your Pickup using all the nice handtools you're getting.....

I've heard the old saw about the neander thing being bad. It's a lie; plane and simple. I mean, personally, I could give up my old tools any time. Really. I could. I just choose not to. Anyone saying the neanderthal way is somehow bad is just trying to auger into our collections and gouge us of our tools. You can gauge their interest in our stuff by how hard they plow into the neander "cult" thing. It's just jealousy that dovetails nicely with their dependence on powered tools.

Its not like neanders are going to take over our minds or anything.

Seems that these two pieces have now adopted me as their new "dad"!

Uh John,

Did you hack into Chris P's bank account again?!

Just keep calling it a "side trip" -- it makes it easier for some folks.

You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!

So John what I really want to know is what was the next "gloat" in the making sitting on your back (front) porch tonight? Hmm... big box just sitting there all lonely, begging me to put it in my truck.. You're soo lucky it stayed there! Just kidding... hope you enjoy whatever it was.

John,
Lokking goooood! You've even got Terry started down this slope. I'll be interested in how you like the scraper plane. That is something that is starting to show up on the radar screen.

Ahhhh...Jeff, my friend! Had you looked at the package a bit closer, you may have noted it came from Lee Valley! Good think you didn't, as then you might just "mistakenly" dropped it in your truck with the rest of the ducting stuff! Patience. I did a real long day at the factory today and barely had time to check the condition and completeness of the contents. Hopefully, tomorrow, I will take it for a trial run and post pics and initial thoughts.

[Tom LaRussa]

I believe it was a couple weeks ago that I stated you are "...bad, BAD people!" over here on the dark side.

Actually John, we are GOOD, BAD people over here on the enlightened side. I.E., we are very GOOD at being BAD. {{{tee hee hee}}}

Ahh but John I did notice that, I just didn't want to steal your thunder totally Hope you enjoy whatever it was!

You're a good man, Jeff! I see you got the PVC pipe and peripherals outta' there OK. Should give you a good start on the DC system!

Dave said it best, as many as can be dragged down the neander path will. We're all neanders to some degree, maybe it's just me but I can't seem to get tenons to fit (because I cut them proud ) like norm on the first pass (I know magic of television) but he always portrays like it goes from TS to snug wonderful fit in his show. I love my hand tools but I don't relish the thought of removing alot of stock by hand, I do it sometimes, but nothing wrong with creating magnetic fields once in a while.

Hey Keith, now THAT's a healthy attitude!
