Gary, thanks for the feedback on my topic, you guys are doing great work, and we appreciate it very much. Open source means so much to many, it's a movement that I hope keeps on keeping on. I believe in it whole heartedly and I live by it. Sharing and giving.

You know Gary, you can still woodwork in peace and quiet, hand tools my friend. Ditch the power and go organic. There is nothing like the sound and feel of a long No. 8 Jointer plane racing across a piece of cherry, with the lace like curls flowing off the chip breaker. And a hammer and chisel, saw, and a various measuring tools, and you can work beautiful wood peacefully.

I don't know if you are aware or not, but Japan has some of the most talented crafs men and women in the world when it comes to woodworking. They have a zen like approach to it, and the work they produce is clean, efficient, useful, and very beautiful, nothing is wasted, and they love working by hand, you are in the geographical area of some of the finest woodworking in the world.

The image below is a traditional set of Japanese woodworking tools.

A wonderful image of Japanese pull saws. As is most things in the way the Japanese work, they are very efficient, the pull saw is pulled towards you, unlike the western saw that is sawed back in forth using more energy then required to cut wood.

This is a Japanese hand plane, it too is pulled and not pushed like the west uses planes, again the Japanese use energy very efficiently. Pulling is so much easier then pushing.

The woodwork of the Japanese, has a timeless style, always sought after, you could be doing some wonderful quiet woodworking there Gary, and no better place then Japan, where the masters reside.
