Where is everybody ?

There’s one store in Portland that has around 1650 router bit profiles - when I got that $460 bid, I saddled up and headed there. Was able to match the profile on my window so I can make some parts and splice them in to restore the bottom 6” or so. I do like doing this stuff, and I have a reasonable amount of machinery which helps.

My grandfather taught me to work, and some skills when I was 15 and got me started. He did what your dad does, all with hand tools. I inherited most of his tools and I love working with them, but I can’t make them do what he did with them. Things have changed a lot and it’s nice to hold onto the old ways a little.
