You guys keep me ROTFL!
About the workshop. Don't have money for building a shop just now. I stay
on the go too much (that means this computer) also.<BG>
It was junior high school when I took shop. Didn't have time to take
advanced shop in high school.
You mention hand tools. My Dad took shop in high school and 100 years ago
<BG> all they had were hand tools. He still has them. Even now he prefers
his brace and bit over an electric drill. Each hand saw is used for
different cuts in different wood. The hand plans smooth a board just as
good as an electric planer, just takes longer. But at his age and
condition, he hasn't used them in several years now, but keeps them in good
shape. He build his own belt sander while in high school. It still works.
Keep the jokes coming!
have a safe and Merry Christmas!
