Ray - glad to hear from you! It's been years, but I do think of you
every time I drive south-east.

Subject: [oldtools] Reintroduction and hello

 I’d like to re-introduce myself to the list.

 My name is Ray Sheley, I’m a retired Mechanical Engineer, and live
in the Rochester NY area.
 My woodworking experience is in the form of remodeling, repair of
furniture, refinishing, furniture kit building, small projects, but no
fine furniture building, very limited (Almost non-existent) lathe
work, etc.

 I have a strong bent to sharpening, tool restoration, and tinkering.

 I was an active forum participant in the past, but the damage done to
my career in 2008-2009, along with other set-backs reduced my list
activity to the occasional lurking, and my hobby interests to near
zero.

 It's been a long time and it's time to gain back some of my
interests.

 I see familiar names, note some missing, and say hello again to all.
 To get my feet wet I’m staring out by reviving my interest in
making my several Original cast wishbone Workmates fully functional
again, and in catching up with my interest in Lie-Nielsen
planes/tools.

 I was an early L-N user and have a number of early and apparently now
defunct models of these tools and would welcome input, and perhaps
links to sites for these tools (Workmate and L-N.)

 I'm looking forward to reengaging and becoming more of a participant
again.
 Thank you.
