The old planes remind me that I won't walk the earth forever and represent
some ideals that have value to me. They are grand.


I put at least a buck's worth of thought into that poem and no replies at
all!
About 2 years ago, when my dad was dying of cancer in the hospital, I
brought my
new Groz handplane (in the box) on one of my visits with him to share what I
was up to.
I was reading Garrett Hack's fine plane book then and my dad enjoyed looking
at that too.
So I guess the moral is, like I was just informing my wife, "Keep track of
where you put your
tools, or they will be useless to you...". Thank you Dad.
