Not exactly a day of rest
Get it while you can
After my trip downtown I went to the Woodcraft store in Bloomington–I had a pretty good discount coupon. After a nice chat with wolfsword, who works there, I looked around and saw an Auriou rasp. These have been very well reviewed, but the company is going out of business. So that is what I bought. There are all sorts of other interesting tools I might have chosen, but I expect to have another chance at most of those. Not so one of these rasps.
If I had a hammer….
Well, three hammers….

Found on the OldTools Mailing List.
Apparently a few years ago, the Louisville Baseball Bat Museum had a billboard up outside of town advertising that they had “More Old Bats Than A Knitting Convention.” The local knitters’ group had quite a tizzy over it.
Somebody else promptly commented
And If your SWMBO is a major-league knitter, then you’ll understand why
.
Since my SWMBO* is also a “major-league knitter”, I understand quite well.
