Thanks, David. Looking forward to this.
Welcome from minnesota.
I'll do my best! I grew up in Stow, just inside 495 near Acton/Concord. I still have family up there - Concord, Berlin, and Cumberland, RI.
Starting small--I'm working on some winding sticks now, and tuning up the old tools I've been pulling together--hand planes, chisels, and saws. Next on the list is a Moxon vice, as working on my WorkMate just doesn't cut it. Then, modest furniture are in the queue--a tray for an antique chest (dovetails), shelving and drawers for some built-in cabinets in the house (M&T, dovetails). And we'll see what my better half comes up with in the meantime, to make up for my time in the shop!
Thanks! I come from Morris (Stevens Cty), originally. My father's family's still up around International Falls.
Morris is about 2hrs nw of where I’m at,fairfax. I would love to live that far north.
I lived in Fairfax for a couple of years, way back. My father taught HS math, before we moved to the cities (Eagan), then off to MA. I nearly lost a thumb in a belt, in the HS shop one day--that thumb's nail will forever show the effect.
I’ll ask my wife if she recognizes your name,she’s from fairfax.
The wife recognized your last name,what years did you live in and what years did your dad teach in fairfax?
