Ken entertained the audience starting with an "Antiques Roadshow" style interactive discussion about the table full of old tool specimens brought in by the audience. He continued with a presentation of the large variety of planes, drills, and saws that he brought for discussion. For each tool, he said a few words about the history and the evolution of the tool. There were so many tools and not a power cord in sight. The craftsmanship of the english tools made them look like pieces of furniture. His favorite tools were modern versions of some of the old masters, a Veritas low angle bevel up block plane, and a high tech dovetail saw where the first 3" of teeth had no set for starting the cut in endgrain (all of his router based dovetail jigs are back in the box after giving up on the adjustments.)
