Mike G wrote:The full story is that his grandfather was a carpenter, and he (my SIL) has inherited all the tools. I've seen them, and they just need a good clean up and a bit of sharpening. So before there are any great woodworking projects, there will be a whole lot of tool restoration, setting and adjusting, and a few purchases (I don't have any woodies, so I can't show him how to get the best from those.........so he'll buy a Stanley/ Bailey whatever). He'll then build some shelves etc in his garage/ workshop to go with the bench he's just bought. Great to see someone so enthusiastic.
