Dan Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 Did you wear the tie when working with power tools? Oh, wait, power tools weren't invented yet! But seriously, I remember those days. I just wish I had known then what I know now. Phantom Scroller and Rob Roy 2 Quote
rjR Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 I wondered why the bus looked odd? Then looked at the UK-- explained it well. I have destroyed/burned/slashed all of the evidence I can find of my "younger times" . I do have my first scrollsaw-- 1952 Craftsman-- still works (Very thin work only) and the drawknife that I usedto get in trouble for using! I do not know how old it is; but it was already old when I was very young. Phantom Scroller and Lucky2 2 Quote

Kepy Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Was almost afraid to open this one. It is interesting to see how we all developed. I remember my high school shop class where we were not allowed to use any power tools. Had to make a clip board and was a bear planing the wood thin enough. Still have one of a pair of walnut lamps and a galvanized tin dust pan that I use occasionally in my shop. Quote

amazingkevin Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 i'm still looking for the japanese veneer plane to make sheets of paper thin wood to put on boxs with multi designs in them. Quote

Kevin I've seen one of them in use at a show absolutely amazingly sharp tool. Most tools these days you take them out the box and you have to sharpen them before use, not so with Japanese kit I have a pair of secateurs man there sharp and they stay sharp cost me £60 a bit of a difference from the £12 ones, it's another case of you get what you pay for.
