>A question for you: I've lurked on that list for awhile now, only occasionally posting. Just got a post about beeswax that ought to be shared with the world. Any Porch folks know what the protocol is for reposting what you hear there over here? Don't want to have to shine no spittoons 'cuz I got to work in the mornin' and the boss might make me do it there too.

>Unruly? No more than folks on this forum. A fair number of folks post on both forums, Jonathan Peck, Bugbear and Todd Hughes being three that come to mind. Just remember, the original Galoots were on the OldTools list.

>...pass the lemonade. I don't think you'll find any better folk....on either forum. Some of you who are new to handtools might be asking "So what is OldTools?
OldTools is a mailing list catering to the interests of old hand tool aficionados, both collectors and users. To quote from the OldTools list charter:
The purpose of this list is to provide an entertaining, not-quite-moderated, light-hearted, fun, jolly, happy, informative forum to discuss the history, usage, value, location, availability, collectibility, and restoration of traditional woodworking tools.
OldTools is a very casual place-- The popular image is that of a back porch get-together. People come and go, swap stories, ask questions of the "old-timers", and just generally engage in friendly discussion of the old tool topics of the day.
