>Hi everyone,

Sorry to bother you about this,

But on another forum here in Quebec I'm the butt of a friendly joke, as if I have more hand tools than I really need!

I was just wondering if anyone can point me to a picture of a really humungus collection? I remember a guy from Niagra (was his name Bob or Rob Brophy?) who had a pretty indecent one, but can't seem to find anything.

Thanks for your help in saving my honor,

Frank

Save your honor.....buy more planes!

>Hi Frank,

It's probably time for me to take some new pictures...look at all that space! It sure as heck isn't there now.

The long workbench is gone now, replaced with a 12 foot long oak lab bench rescued from the trash, a few more planes were added and quite a few more chisels...maybe I'll update the page this weekend.

>Colset Normite! I went to your site and saw that you have a shirt just like his. I bet you put it and that tool belt on when you go into the shop amd wish you had some fancy power tools to use instead of all them hand tools.

>Thanks Rob,

I was hoping you'd drop by! You have a memorable shop; I put your site in my favourites. On the other forum I managed to swing the discussion around to what heaven must look like, so your pictures came just in time.

Thanks again,

Frank (who really doesn't have that many tools compared to Rob...)
