I wanted to introduce myself earlier but I kept forgetting. I'm 17 and I live in La Crete, Alberta, Canada. My dad has been collecting tools for as long as I can remember, and he has passed the bug on to me. This summer I started working at the La Crete Mennonite Heritage Village. When we found some tools in storage that I couldn't identify I found this site and joined. It has been very useful already and I have barely scratched the surface of the collection. There are a couple hundred of tools that I hope to identify and hopefully make a proper exhibit of. At home my dad's collection consists mostly of handplanes (about 40) and some other woodworking tools.
I'm very grateful for the help I have been given so far, and I hope to use this forum a lot in the future.

Welcome WiebeLC!
Those Mennonites don't know anything about woodworking... ;)

Welcome to Tool Talk! And thanks for introducing yourself.
Great to see someone young with an interest in history on here. For most of us the moon landing is current events. I wanted to visit the museum in Lacrete this summer but maybe next year.
We landed on the moon? When did *that* happen? yeash, I sleep for a couple years and look what happens...
Welcome to tool talk :)
I can't post pic from my iPad but I hope to get some pics online soon. Dad came back from Indiana yesterday with a couple good finds. He managed to find a Stanley 113 type one with decent finish left. It's pretty hard to find anything interesting around here anymore.
Glad to see you here. Welcome aboard. We love pictures here, and also mystery tools.
Welcome..........from Oklahoma.........glad to have you aboard
