>Hey Gang,

I like to make tools. Having a pack of young ones running around the house provides a convenient excuse for delaying the large furniture SWMBO wants. I've put together a list of tools I want to make (or already have made) to populate a hand tool "tool box". Did I miss anything?

>I don't see 'workbench-the-size-of-the-Kitty-Hawk" on your list. Gotta have some place to work. As others have said, spokeshaves are great projects. I'm working on a travisher right now (well, I will be once I finish typing) to aid me in my pursuit of chair-making. Chair devils are on my list as well and some sort of tapered rounder. Oh ya, have ya made a scrub plane? Really easy and fun to use.

>You need a plow plane, a tongue and groove plane (or a matched pair), a panel gauge with pencil, a rip saw something between 26 and 30 inches and a SMOOTHING PLANE.
