MWTCA meet in Chesaning, MI on April 17th

This is a reminder that the Midwest Tool Collectors Association Area C has a meeting coming up on April 17th in Chesaning, MI.  If you are interested in the details, please email me.

Come out and support a fantastic organization.  I'll be there, buying and selling tools and talking to folks about woodworking.  It's a great way to make new friends and buy some tools at a fair price.  You'll find everything, from user chisels to highly collectible infill planes and cast iron levels.  You'll also see interesting themed displays on old tools.  Mike Stemple is running the Chesaning meet this year and he always has a great setup of rare and interesting saws.
