Just in time for me being laid up for a few days, I received the December issue of the Gristmill by MWTCA. Many of you who have won our MWTCA drawings for membership are already aware of this wonderful publication, this month features Leonard Bailey, this magazine is full of great stuff and hand tool historical articles, and their main feature has a nice breakdown of the history of the hand plane and of course the Stanley brand references. For the studious woodworkers who love hand tool and implement history, these magazines are wonderful. To join MWTCA see their website at https://mwtca.org/

Or you can participate in our monthly projects at http://thepatriotwoodworker.com/forum/54-the-mwtca-whats-it-project/

 

By the way, I should be able to get our December What's It up and live today, sorry for the delay.

Here is the cover of the December "The Gristmill" magazine.

Looking forward to receiving my first issue.

It takes a little bit Gene, they are on it though, I assure you!

Give it a month and 5 days. Of course, I DO live in a foreign country.

If I lived in Quebec, we'd be having this conversation in French!

Afraid that would be a one sided conversation. I know two words in French. Croissant and crème glacée.  

I did stay overnight in French Lick, IN though.

Is that something like a French kiss?

Not sure. Maybe Ron or Dave might know.  They're closer to the action.
