truck,

if you start a discussion about one or more aspect of a handtool you've made, others will most likely chime in. there are several hand plane makers, at least one maker of fine hand saws and one psychologist who tries his hand at several disciplines. perhaps your son would photo and post some of your work here. i, for one, would enjoy that.
