This happens to me enough that I thought I would share it. We ALL get cut or poked with our knives. Yesterday it was my Left Thumb, and I opened the First Aid box, and took care of business. BUT I could NOT grasp things after wrapping the bandage with tape, to prevent my Thumb from bending, and reopening the small, but deep enough cut. SO my **HINT**, get your rubber cement out, and painted a little on the grasping area of where your THUMB would work, if (I) had not slipped! BTW, I was Making a new Knife, D2 STEEL, to replace the XACTO BLADES, that seem to break their points to often, I always Reshape a #11 blade to replace the point, but I already know this D2 STEEL will be better. philip, from the Great Pacific NorthWET, Oregon Division

I have several "old tools", a Brace & Bit is my favorite one, BECAUSE, somewhere, I found an adapter, with that old tapered square shank, that transfer to our modern 1/4inch HEX! WHEN it is found in my Storage, I will see if it is maker marked, for sharing info. The ~other source~ for Old Designs made NEW, is Veritas Tools, I have an exact replica of the STANELY ODD JOB, which when I was working, was a favorite it's tool in my belt! I have poor eye sight right now (new glasses in the mail) but research that awesome design online, It does so many things it is EASIER to say what it does not do. It does not play CHESS, or Cribbage. philip from the Great Pacific NorthWET Oregon Division

I still have a few pieces of Native Lane County CHERRY, given to me free, from the Third Generation resident on his Grandfather's Farm! It died, due to a Lighting Strike, and I just LOVE that wood! In my OLD WOODS collection, is one item absolutely TREASURED: Purchased in 1992, from my boss, what WAS 32 Square Feet of SPECIALTY FLOORING. When our company did anything beyond our Standard Hardwoods, Red & White Oak, Maple, Hickory and an item called "Mixed Hardwood SHORTS", Jack wrote a special clause onto our Standard Contract: It stipulated that Jack Stewart Hardwood Floors, would STORE 10% of the square foot installed floor, for 15 YEARS, in case of repair needs! One day, he asked me to get a tool down off the Office ceiling, our Buttler Building was 20 foot tall, full of sawdust, so an enclosed office. Regular 8 foot ceiling, and After 3 1/2 Years working there, I am sent on top, where I found **things** not used regularly, like the Stair Guard I was sent for. But getting there, I passed a pallet of a very odd flooring, I had NEVER SEEN: MADRONE, 4" Face, & only 5/8" thick, with NO flooring grooves on the bottom. After Jack showed me how a Stair Guard worked (I was to install Vertical Grain FIR stock floor treads, into a 3.5 Million Dollar Home being built), I asked, "Hey Mr. Stewart what IS that pallet of wood?" He laughed, " I had completely forgotten about that, why that was a Special Floor reserved stock, GOSH, that must be, Hmmm 18- NO 19 YEARS OLD! I bought 32 Square Feet, at "purchase price", Miller in Del Norte County, CA. From the chair I am resting in, I can see One of two sections left, 24" wide, 36" long, glued as a sheet of panel. That flooring WAS CUT, in 1974, if it has a moisture content, it could only be ambient to my Apartment, I would guesstimate maybe 6-7% moisture! Enjoy YOUR Black Cherry, and open up a MUSEUM of woods! philip, from the Great Pacific NorthWET, Oregon Division
