Do we need to bring any tools to this workshop OH? I have an old axe that needs a good "free" sharpening

Dwight,

It wouldn't hurt to bring it. I know they are interested in what tools we will use.

OH

OH,
It doesn't look like I'll be able to make it to the workshop. I cannnot get off for the Friday that it will start. Sorry, guess you'll have to teach me everything you know some other time .

Kyle,

You could come for just the Sat. part of the work shop if you want. I belive it would be ok and I will be glad to call and find out if you want.

Just let me know.

OH

Kyle,

I would like to add that I would be proud to teach you what I know! By the way I am still learning! I don't realy believe that they (FS) will be able to teach me a whole lot that I don't already know other than work with crosscut saws.

OH
