Tools for Sale- Thanks be to Dunbar

I'm making a few tools for sale.

I just want to say, that I'm thrilled Mike Dunbar is writing for PW. Have you been reading his articles? I think he is my favorite ww author. Dunbar is responsible for many things that have greatly influenced the type of work we do. He really popularized the use of traditional methodologies by building a market around them. He also helped lift the boutique tool market. His theory was that the techniques couldn't survive without new tools being made to support their use. The craft simply can't rely on antique tools. This developed a market for tools including my saws. And it allowed people to try techniques they couldn't have perfected otherwise. So thanks Mike.
