I'm probably in the wrong place at the wrong time but thats normal. I'm an 80 year old toolmaker and I've Probably never gone two days in a row without using some kind of tool. I have quite a collection of old stuff like early craftsmen tools with a tail, and a bunch of old tools that have names i've never heard of. I have a very well equipped shop and am always making something. I have 4 kids and 17 grand kids and 5 great grand kids. I live up on a mountain in the foothills of the Cascades. In Oregon. I have mistakenly acquired a lot of really heavy Arn. Its worth something but the cost of shipping it is prohibitive. I hope to be a usable resource in this forum.  My handle is Mac.  Howdy.

You know, it'd be neat to have a world map with the location of all our members.  Anybody got lots of time and lots of skills?

There used to be a map of members. I will see if I can dig it up.
