    Hi oldone,

    Welcome!

    You won't find much dissent here on the merits of building tools rather than buying them!

    Let's see a bit of your work - how about some pics? What are you working on currently?

    Ken

    Hi oldone - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

    Any username with "old" in it is a hint to me that it's someone who knows what he is talking about.

    What kind of tools do you like to make?

    Just finished a small adzes with black locust handle, also a small free. I have started the handle, was slowed by Christmas. These are for madding ax handles. In the next week or so I an going to build a shave horse. That's about it.

    Sounds like some nice projects. Do you have any photos to share?
