Re: How to Make Arts & Crafts-style Drawer Pulls

I am always amazed and appreciative when I see the creativity of woodworkers. For the true craftsman, your skills are a gift to be admired and inspired.

Re: UPDATED: Giveaway and Poll: The Most Requested Woodworking Gifts of 2009

I am 66 years old and I am still using the Stanley block plane my dad gave me in 1977; he was a carpenter and used it many years prior to giving it to me when I was going to begin the journey of learning how to build houses.

The plane still works fine and sharpens well. I have been making furniture for some years now and the enjoyment and satisfaction from project to project has been encouragement to take on new challenges.

When I purchase power tools I buy the best quality I can justify paying for. However, I always skimp on hand tools because of the cost. I have a back saw that a beaver would be an advancement.

Years ago a woodworker told me "a good tool is a pleasure to work with". He was right. This plane would truly be a treasure to have. Wood is a beautiful thing, isn't it?
