I was up late posting projects and I saw you commented on them. Thanks and welcome to the club. I haven’t been with the group for very long and I really find them to be a great bunch of people. I hope you enjoy the conversation, information, education, and encouragement.

Hi Wayne,
My name is Jeff and I from SE Wisconsin. I to using hand tools and love learning the old ways of making furniture and other things. I have started a collection of antique hand tools. I don’t look for value as much as what really appeals to me. Oh and nice picture but you may want to shave a little closer next time. HEHEHE Just kidding.
Oh I forgot to tell you. I use to live just south of Modesto in Turlock. Do you know where that is? I spent most of my growing up years in that town. I also worked for the Calif Dept of Forestry just out side of Yosemite. Well, Have a great day.
Jeff

My biggest issue with posting photos is my camera. I need to upgrade to a camera with a better ability to take close-up shots. I did post three turned items I recently finished.

Hi Wayne:
Thanks for the comment…......that’s the 2nd one I had to make…..don’t tell anybody but the first one I was…..big no-no…..”rushing” and was free handing with the router to save set-up time and I caught the end grain and chipped out one end and shot it across my bench. I rationalized by saying OK now I know how to do it….OH….I set up my little router table….worked great.

Thanks for the comments Wayne. She did seem please with the quilt rack, and she wrote me out a check to boot. The money comes in handy. Probably looking at a high electric bill this month. It’s getting hot down here. 90’s today.
