Two tool things
Two tool things.First, I **finally** found an appropriately large triangular file (photo by The Girl). Asked Next-Door-Uncle, who suggested a tool shop I hadn't tried. When I phoned them, it turns out they don't carry files -- but they referred me to yet another tool shop which **does** carry files.
Phoned this new place, and -- yep! -- had one of sufficient size. Stopped by on Tuesday, on my way home from work (same general part of town).
So, Yay! I can now sharpen my ripsaw with appropriateness.
Second, my mortise chisel came yesterday! It's my first mortise chisel, and I've never actually seen one in person -- just photos. So I was surprised at how hefty it was: see photo (also by The Girl).
And my new file is pretty decent-sized, as well: 5/8" wide.O.K. -- so maybe that's not exciting for **you**. But it's exciting for **me**!!! :)

Hey-I'm excited just reading about it.
Also, I'm now at the end of your sidebar's Archives list. Sadness.
Strike that. Your sidebar's "Previous Posts" list.
Both commendable and gratifying that you've slogged thru the backlog. :)
BTW: I subscribe to a handful of blogs, and I've decided that the best way to maintain a readership is to post new content fairly regularly (i.e., every day or two).
So, I'm trying to do this. I even have a few days' worth of ''backup'' entries.
