    Default Should we have an old tools forum?

    Maybe this has been thought of before but I thought I would raise it anyway.

    I reckon there are enough forums already that can be used for posting stuff about old tools. Its also relatively easy to search for stuff, it does't really matter where it was posted originally.

    A larger version of my avatar picture can be found here. It is a scan of the front cover of the May 1960 issue of Woodworker magazine.

    Maybe the poll needs another question

    Should we have an OLD FOOLS forum

    If ya couldn't get power tools there wouldn't be many members on this forum so why go backwards.

    I thought the whole forum gets plenty of use from old tools, seems unfair to make them congregate in the one place.
