Rank: galoot - entry level

I am a recent apprecianatto of antique tools, as a collector, for about the
last 5 years
(has it been that long already??).

My tastes are simple (currently collecting Gage transitionals and early,
craftsman made plow planes, etc.) More on the Gage plane thing later.

My generation is the 50's and 60's which may explain my lack of appreciation
for the "heavy metal" scene ( I know "metal sells" but they all look the
same!!!!).

I'm a structural engineer, by day, which implies that all correspondence must
contain only common words, no more than three syllables long.

My craftsman skills include building my house (everything except foundations
and plaster) This was more of a Normie than a galoot but is included for your
amusement.

I'll soon be jumping into the fray with a poll on some characteristics of Gage
planes. Be warned!

Ken
