I was born a tinker, and I've finally found a place where it fits in. Give me a problem, and I'll find a solution to it!

Visiting with Friends

This past weekend I was at the "Trail of History" in McHenry County, Illinois. While there I got to visit with Jeff Goris and Tedd Cash, both of whom were also set up there. On Sunday, Paul Barnhard came in to visit. A most enjoyable weekend, even if the weather forced an early close to the event!

A nose for tin??? Oh, I thought you said a tin nose.

Items from the Convergence included the following:
Robert Stone's 4-sided lantern
Bill Brown's tin horn (dice game)
Keith Johnson's triple baking pan

Tinkering With the Past

In an attempt to re-open our lines of communication (due to the recent hacking of the e-tinsnips site), I thought I'd try this forum. I hope that the tinners and coppersmiths that were registered previously will find this and join in. The only request that I have is that you identify yourself in the comments section if posting under the "anonymous" title. That way you don't have to sign up just to add your comments.

I'm still looking forward to getting our first edition of the new publication out this month!
