    Fwiw

    Some people may be offended by my long winded, occasional attempts to set the record straight as I know it about the terminology and tools from the old days or our history. I if offend you just tell me to shut up and I will disappear into the woodwork so to speak like a good little termite. LOL

    Respectfully

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

    Harry,
    I was using my jack plane to flaten some panels today and enjoying the quite in the shop. Please fell free to set me streight anytime you feel the need.

    Still waiting for the next chapter in the apprentice.

    Junior, don't even think about shutting up. I am constantly learning from your posts. You just taught me that felloes and rims are 2 different things. Where else am I going to learn this stuff ??

    Elder, LMAO, just because my beard and hair are gray, my feet are flat, my back is bad, I need glasses and my hearing is gone. But the senior citizen discount is nice. LOL

    I'm so "occasionally neander" that I sometimes look for the power switch on a screwdriver, but I enjoy and learn a lot from your posts, Jr.

    Keep 'em coming.

    I was under the impression screwdrivers were powered by Ham, Eggs, Pancakes, Chocolate Cake and Ice Cream.

    Did I miss something? When did this come up as an issue? If someone has a problem with Harry they can just suck swamp water AFAIC. Who else are we gonna get Harry's kind of knowledge, wit, humor, and neander history from.

    We should all be paying Harry's health insurance or something to ensure that he stays around here to provide all that he does for us.


    Hope you're feeling better Harry, you're not going anywhere.

    What you call long winded we (well, me anyway) call not long enough.

    Catch a breath and keep talkin' . I gave up most of my neanderthal tools several years ago but still enjoy the notion of 'people power'. Much of what you do is inspiring. Like the scrap wood lathe. Incredible.
