What I haven't seen mentioned in this thread is that right over there... (motions vaguely upward....) is a whole forum about woodworking with both hand and power tools. Last time I checked, this was the neanderthal haven. Supposed to be about muscle-powered woodworking. So while I do use machines, I don't discuss their use here unless it directly addresses hand tool use, say the use of a grinder in sharpening hand tools. If I want to discuss table saws or routers or something there are other, better places for that.

Now, on topic, I picked up a beautiful little washita stone at a thrift store the other day for a quarter. Made my day.
