Hey Stephen,
I have not had time to be a tool collector but I know what you mean. I have tried to buy tools I wanted to use on eBay and found I was competing against people who are just collectors and have automated software to gather all the valuable tools and pump up the prices. They don’t use the tools and never will. They are just traders trying to capitalize on demand.
So be it. I don’t blame someone for trying to make a living. I just keep on looking to see how what I have now can help me create what I want to create. It’s simple really. Your mind can tell you all you really need to know.
Cheers

No shame. I’m sure you gave it your best.
I’d like to see some of your woodwork?
Cheers fleetfoot
8 January 2013 at 6:37 am #6253Thanks Ken – this saw tightens up real strong so when I flip the blade with my thumbnail it goes “tiingg” a nice sound. It cuts good too.
My main concern is will it hold up over time. I don’t know but I positioned the grain opposing the forces of tension so it should be fine. Time will tell. So far- so good.
I did not mention that the blades and brass blade pins were bought from Tools For Working Wood, a small and unique web store in New York, USA. Nice People and good stuff (a lot of English stuff).
Cheers, and I hope you are doing well,
fleetfoot

When I was much younger I used to play some touch football. Somehow I was much faster than most, so my buddies called me “fleetfoot”. No big deal. My real name is Frank.
