And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Everything looks like work, if you don't like it. I like what I've been doing for the past 52 years (doing it all day today) and don't expect I'll ever retire.
Somehow or another, without ever actually buying one, I've accumulated 3 or 4 planes. All old, beat to hell and rusty. I got into a woodworking kick and tried to clean them up a little - spent a lot of time sharpening blades and still can't use them for crap. Went out and bought an electric one and boy-howdy, that thing works great! Any going back to the manuals again. They might look cool but are a complete PITA.
I have one of the block planes and wouldn't mind having a few of the others.
ReplyDeletelooks like work to me, retired carp. 37 yrs.

I guess being a troll is satisfying work to you.
Deletedidn't think sniping ghosts was an avocation, certainly not a job. construction can be tough on the body.
DeleteDa plane, Da plane!
