Sounds like Francis!

Can't seem to find a sharp one

There is still room for another (small) shelf in the upper left corner of the photo.

I think he has a good start anyway. Never enough tools is my motto.

I agree. When one tool doesn't work anymore it needs to be replaced by several to make up the loss. When the Would-be-Working tool we so loved and admired has ended it's days we turn to other Woodworking tools and spend more time in the wood-shop instead of the boudoir. In the picture notice his countenance, looking at the once firm leg which is now broken and can't be repaired by duck-tape, thinking about a bygone firm tool that can't be fixed and figuring on how to duplicate it (either one). Some things can't be duplicated nor repeated, even if you own a Shopsmith (the all purpose tool).
