I have an old friend who, like myself, loves wood. And while I have a small furniture-making shop this friend of mine is a carpenter extraordinaire. He can build, repair or create nearly anything out of wood and he's been doing it for a long long time. Now and then we visit each other's shops to have a laugh, share a smoke or just say 'Hi'. His woodshop is housed in a century-old barn and smells of wood, old hay, dirt and oil. It's a wonderful aroma. These old auger bits were laid out on a table. They've seen a lot of use but are still in working condition. Something about old tools like these brings out a sentimental part of me. Maybe you too.
