To keep this thread alive, a couple days ago, I helped another fellow purchase one of these saws for $100 from the HFH store in Tukwila, WA . It's in pretty nice condition except the gear mechanism on the fence is missing some parts. But the rest of the saw is pretty pristine for being so old...
Merry belated Christmas and a Happy New Year Thomas and Chris. Thanks for sharing the excellent craftsmanship.
I had two chimneys replaced this year and it was really interesting to go up on the roof and watch and ask questions of the mason as he completed the task.
Thomas, if you would PM me pictures of the reader list in the book, I could finish the map of the book's travels that I agreed to do. It was a great read!

Thomas, I know how to create the map and could do so with just the city information if you want to send that to me privately.

After traveling much of the world and seeing homes that are 4-500 plus years old, I find it hard to imagine many of our stick built homes lasting that long. Yours certainly has the best chance for preservation!! Great job on the construction and outfitting.
I was supposed to be on the US list, but we've been out of the country for 2 months and may have missed any announcements.

We'll be riding our U.S. Plated motorcycle near there tomorrow on our way up the east coast of Scotland. It's part of a large loop of the UK that we are currently doing. It's amazing how a follower of this thread can catch up with the book across the pond.

I singularly built my 24 x 40 garage some years ago and built my own roof assembly with 2x6 construction and a ridge beam. It's similar to your drawing except I have an 8 foot ceiling for most of the width and 7 ' knee walls. In the triangle area I use that for closet space.

As a virtual lifelong Seattle area resident, Bardahl is legendary in boat racing as well. Thanks for posting the race car pictures.
Then there are the other legendary names originating here like Boeing, Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, and many more.
Thomas,
Thanks for posting the pictures of the old wooden planes. I have a collection of them and some other old hand woodworking tools that I inherited from my father who used them as a cabinet maker and shipwright during the second world war.
