About me

Gender Male
Location Telegraph Point, NSW, Australia
Introduction I have always loved woodworking, especially with the tools used in the 19th and 20th centuries before power tools became commonplace. The tools themselves fascinate me, and I admire the skill and imagination that went into their manufacture, as well as their beauty. "Some old things are lovely... warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them" (D H Lawrence)
