>Calgary Canada with a fellow I meet buying hand planes from here in Spokane for the Rob Cosman Training the Hand course. One week of all hand tools.

Today I got my 60 1/2 with a hock blade sharpened up, wow what a difference. Never got around to really sharpening that one, just used it. Made a few .001 shavings this afternoon on the tool box top to bring rails flush with stiles while the epoxy is drying out.

Sounds llike a great time!

>Hi Alan. Bring your bug spray. With all the rain we've had here, the Mosquitoes are ferocious.

I've attached a photo of how I fitted out the lid of my toolbox for saws...might give you some ideas.

ps. I didn't make this toolbox - SAIT sells them for the cost of the materials. The boxes are student projects. If a student chooses to not take the box home (I think they have to pay the cost of materials if they do), then the school sells them to the public. There's usually a few of these boxes available. Some of them are well made and some of them are obviously student projects. Might be a good way to take home some goodies.

>Good to know on the bugs..

Look at all the LN in that box!

Mine will basically be the same, except I am making a tray for the bottom layer tonight, just a quick and dirty birch ply. And then two more layers for the tools. The saw area will be perfect, have to remember that.

Scott, I have one photo of the box in the clamps, will take another with the tray in it tomorrow.

Thanks for the pics Alan

>Alan,

I took this course in May in Toronto and I know you will love it. It is quite intensive but thoroughly enjoyable.

Good luck.
