Esteemed Galoots,

Judging by some of the content of this thread, I think I can call myself
a galoot. Lemme describe the symptoms.....13 saws, one of which was
bought for the handle. Useable Stanley planes...check. Hunks of rust
lying in waiting...check. Post drill, not yet but I'm looking! Dreaming
about dovetails...sometimes but these days I am mostly planning in my
head a plane till and saw till during every waking moment. Does that
count? Searches for flea market tables that do not have shiny
stuff...check. Already planning next years Christmas tree, which I get
to design/decorate because SWMBO got to do it this year, to have chisels
for tinsel, saws for ornaments and a bedrock (which I don't even own
yet) in place of the star.....check.

Well, I might be a galoot. Pass the spitoon.
