Tools, Tips, Timber and Techniques

I love to teach traditional woodworking skills and techniques. Some might also call me a tool freak - but I am just very interested in the history of tools and tool development. I also have a fascination with trees and the wood which comes from them. Some of these postings listed below may have some interesting info for you. Feel free to request info and comments from me on particular topics if you wish...
