new old guy
« on: July 02, 2011, 08:41:36 AM »
i have just found this site nice place
I have been colecting and using old tools my whole life litiary started with great grand dads and still use his and grandpa's and my dad's stuff much better then the new stuff out there today. Have been doing carpentry for years and people like watching you use the old tools the right way and have had guys ask to use stuff cause there "new" tools quit working. love hitting garage and estate sales best place to find stuff.

Welcome to Tool Talk!
Some of us are "old guys", and some are quite young enthusiasts.
Our Woodworking Forum could use some posts.
