Hello there,

Recently DuckSoup contacted me. He indicated that he had a few spare tools that he wasn't using and that if I wanted them I could have them. I don't look gift horses in the mouth. If someone offers me something I generally just say yes. I did not even ask him what it was. But this is a woodworking forum and I know that he knows that I use hand tools so I figured that was a safe bet. Anyway the package arrived a couple of days ago. And I want to show you what it is that he sent me. All of it is fantastic and I will use it.

I just wanted to say how grateful I was for these and commend this forum because this is not the only generosity that's been extended to me in this place.

What an AWESOME gift!!

He is indeed a generous person, and just a great guy in general. No doubt you will get some good use out of those tools.

Indeed he is.

The 9 & 1/2 is perfect for what I use a block plane for. It is in evapo rust and will remain at least overnight. I definitely plan to restore it and put it to use.

The apron he sent me is great. The one I was using was from Harbor freight. It did the job, but this one is much better.

The folding ruler is lovely, and I used it today during dovetail practice.

All of it was highly appreciated.
