Just a middle age dude from Washington who has started to remodel his house after 10 years of hard use! The house is about 50 years old and needs some TLC. I'm a husband and father of a couple of teenagers and design agricultural equipment for a living. Don't know much about construction or woodworking but have 20 years of experience with metal fabrication. I've always been fascinated with tools of all kinds. There's just something about holding a quality tool in your hand! (that sounds a little weird now that I think about it) Hope to gain some knowledge from this forum and maybe get some help from the woodworkers and carpenters. Tools in Action brought me here so I've got to thank Dan, Eric and the crew. I'm also new to forums so forgive me in advance for any bonehead moves. Thanks again, Marc
