"A man's shop is like a woman's purse:  more stuff in it, so we buy a bigger shop.  Then get more stuff, then a larger shop, etc.A good magazine for making your own woodworking tools is SHOP NOTES, I have a lot of them going back…"

"Sign them? I hadn't thought of that, thanks! It makes a ton of sense because I've been putting a lot of time into the tools and it would be nice to put my name on them. I'm currently working on small try-squares with future plans for…"

"Thank you. I was very worried that the small pieces between the splines would be an issue, but it turned out to be a non-problem except for one that I simply glued back in place. I use Titebond III wood glue and it does a superior job."

Profile Information

Introduction
I'm a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none, hooked on the creativity, music, and literature of the steam-punk world. I hope to meet and talk with others who feel the same. Most of my work is with wood, but I'm working brass into my projects and so far I like the results. I'm also an amateur photographer and gardener (nothing like sitting in the garden watching the sun rise with a steaming cup in-hand). I must also confess that I am addicted to working on and increasing the efficiency of those infernal noisy, and smelly, internal combustion engines!
