Mighty nice collection there, Ken. Thou sucketh greatly.

They have been cleaned of course, and surface rust removed, but not altered any more than necessary. Plane irons lapped and scary sharpened.

Larry has been around long enough to know, but for the sake of some of the newbies -- I've been at this for a while. Used tools show up in the strangest places and I have been looking for many years -- it took a long time to find the Stanley #112 scraper plane and the #66 beading cutter.

Suggestion: change the title in the HTML to be the name of the page that summarizes what the page is about. For example, "Main Menu" is the title of the homepage and when I bookmark it it says "Main Menu." That title might be okay for the programmer, but not the visitor. I don't want to have to change it. Don't be offended. Just a suggestion.

Cool!

No offense taken, but Main Menu is not my home page. My home page is titled "Ken Vaughn's Workshop", which is what I assumed that people would bookmark. There is a link on the main menu to my home page (bottom row -- right side) or you can get to it directly using the link below. Main Menu is the common base migration link, however, and perhaps I should consider adding some descriptive text there also.

I found my #112 pretty easily (it's an ugly mutt that only I was fool enough to try to restore) and you can't move round here for #66 beaders (usually missing a fence though). Now a _Preston_ beader, that's a rarer beast.
