We welcome you, great Sir.

It is rare to have a Peer amongst us and I'm sure your insights will be welcome to all.

BTW you're a handsome fellow to boot. Please do tell your handler to behave on the boards, make no unseemly messes and follow the COC.

Thank you,

We've been trying to do that for years. With the patience and persistence you applied to the chisel, you might succeed.

Hi Henry

Know exactly how you mean. I have a set of old furniture planes which I'm working on. I've just used imagination, but would be interested in any tips you might have, or a guide if there is one.

The old world ? You mean England?
:-D

There goes my plan to mess up insanely and blame it all on the dog!

Oh. Well, maybe the chisel could help with that in some way.
Directions to the server room, please? :roll:

Got a few old wooden planes myself which i am trying to persuade out of retirement one by one. I can't be called a professional by any means but had some success restoring the blades to working order.
Also i bought a quality plane and one of the cheapest models available for comparison and am happily producing wood dust in order to find out what works best. And why!
How about discussing this in a seperate thread? If all else fails, we could at least post some images of lovely campfires fueled by our failed experiments! :)

As for the Old World, that was a joke i made up on the fly. Because of Henry i tried to sound a bit like an Englishman, but i'm actually German.
Bavarian to be precise, which is... hm... somewhat different. Just like a Scotsman not exactly being English or a Corse not exactly French.

(Note to self: Time to search around some Wiki to find out who i am)

See you around! :)

Hi. My name is Alan Cain. I attended the University of Oil (err, Oklahoma) back in the '70s, after Vietnam and being a medic, starting in Geology and Chemistry and ending in Geography when I saw the handwriting on the wall, and found I liked map making more than working with oil companies.

I worked on the coal reserves studies of the eastern part of Oklahoma with Dr. Friedman (as a slave), drew pretty pictures and worked for the tourism folks in OK for a while; I went to Colorado, worked for Peabody Coal and for a Uranium exploration company and realized that I really did not LIKE extractive industries all that much. I landed briefly in Missouri working in city planning, going to grad school in Resource Management, and doing organic homesteading before changing careers to Nursing.

Seems like too much school to me. :P

I spent time in critical care and in surgery (ran a surgical suite for a while) until I, as many do, developed serious allergies to antibiotics and latex/neoprene. I became a computer repair dude, and started an Internet service business doing wireless and fiber optics in a very small town (2000 people in the community with 100 Gigabit connections) until the next sparkly thing came along - now I am raising grapes and making wine in Washington. My vineyard uses water pumped from 500 feet down (a lovely crushed granite substrate, clear tasty water) via solar panels and we are organic; I am too lazy to find effective deadly poisons, and I like to drink my wine without lead or arsenic, thank you.

My, what a strange trip it has been! My wife is a Certified Nurse Midwife and Family Nurse Practitioner, and we still tolerate each other. :wink:

I'm a bit of an amateur naturalist; I have 140 acres to study and describe, which is really pretty blissful. I don't claim any great insights, but I do like what I do. :)

I am alarmed at our global blindness, and look forward to starving to death while the temperatures go up to 120 on a cool day. :-D

I strive for optimism, and think that the journey will be chaotic as we go wherever it is we are going. I once thought I knew, and planned for utopia. Now I plan for chickens and grapes. At least I'll have coq au vin. And just think! It'll cook itself! :roll:
Remember that in a population group, the number of individuals that are below average is equal to (the total number, divided by two), minus one. And that one is not swift.

Hi Alan, welcome.

Peakers? This is a political discussion website, haven't you noticed? :lol:

Welcome anyway. So do you believe Obama is innocent of peak oil, knew about it and didn't tell anyone so he could profit by it, or helped plan it during his ACORN days, and caused it to happen after he became Prez?

Been aware of peak oil for quite a few years.....
Because of that fact...
I have saved my sanity,
saved myself from useless endeavors
and not lost much money in the rigged money system...
but can we save ourselves from a corporate takeover of our country and the world.
I keep hearing the big sucking sound of all we have being extracted.
