This video and all the pics makes me want to move up the line SOOOO bad! Where am I on the list?
Anyone want to take $50 to let me take their spot in the Top 24 ? 
.
How about 100$ 
What is this? Futures commodity trading???
Since this isn't a profit venture, buying spots is probably in bad taste. Not sure what the organizers or other participants think.

James,
Glad to see it is coming along so well.
A follow up letter in the current issue of Work Magazine (#11) suggests the same mouth sacrificial piece that a poster here suggested a couple of weeks ago. Glad it is not needed.
The cover article is part one of a giant series on everything you ever wanted to know about saws but were afraid to ask.

I took the smiley faces to mean the posters were just kidding.

Same here, just wanted to be clear. I don't want to step on any toes. This is a great venture.

Why do you prefer sand, rather than lost wax, for the 'jewelry'?
Sand is the easiest and most economical way to produce castings such as this. In truth though, investment casting ("lost wax") is not a bad option. It offers excellent tolerances and surface finish. These qualities come with a premium price though, especially in small runs such as this.
Funny you should call it "jewelry." I've been tempted to make some bling with the extras.

Agreed. Just for the headache and potential confusion of "musical lists", I'd prefer members just enjoy and be patient. I do see more planes in the future...

I'm looking forward to that.
You have an interest in birds? Miss hearing meadowlarks - none up here.

No avid interest, really, but I truly love their call.
Wait, I lied--I do have an avid interest in bird(s) recently... I've been interested in shooting a bird that decides to begin its squawking right outside my window every morning at 4:15...
The truth is, when I was contemplating starting a little tool making venture, I wanted to do it from a place of peace and passion. The meadowlark's call is a reminder of that for me. I love it. I also admire toolmakers of yore who integrated animals into their logos and designs.
Forgive my ignorance, but where did you live and where do you hail from now?

I grew up in Minnesota. Remember hearing meadowlarks in the fields where we played. Seems like my strongest memories are of meadowlarks in the fields around home and red-winged blackbirds in the cattails around lakes we fished. Now I'm in SE Alaska and likely will stay here. Wife was born in Ketchikan and my daughter is in school in Fairbanks. When I was a kid there were about 2 million people in MN and less than 2,000 in my home town. Now there are 6 million in the state and more than 20,000 in town. A lot of the places I used to hear meadowlarks are now subdivisions and I don't see anyone on the street I know. Hard to go back to a place the doesn't exist anymore.
Getting a bit far a field from plane making. I (and a lot of other folks) am really enjoying watching the process of creating a new tool. Keeping my fingers crossed you'll make another run.
Best regards-
Phil
