Unplugging with Luke Townsley

Unpluggedshop.com. Is really one heck of a place to hang your hat. Created by Luke Townsley as a shelter from the cruel world of bits and bytes, Unpluggedshop.com has evolved into a one-stop-shop for the hand tool woodworker. Yea, even for the Electron driven woodworkers who dream of ditching their power cords and saving their ears (and fingers) from the depredations of blurringly spinning metallic teeth.

My guess is that Luke must have been a librarian in a former life. It's really a tough job to pull together material spread across the internet, organize it in a fashion that is both sensible, navigable and readable. All too often, aggregator sites start out with a good heart but get lost in the ever expanding array of choices... blogs, forums, auctions sites, online merchants, video offerings, &c., &c. Luke has succeeded in creating an enjoyable read along with opening a window to what is out there for us true believers.

Much as I would prefer that you spend the bulk of your online time at either my blog or website, hop over to the Unpluggedshop and learn something new. Just don't forget to come back here!

Till next
Gary

Gary,
Thanks for the info. I didn't know my site was that good. I think I am going to check it out again!

In all seriousness, I really am excited about the new custom Google search recently implemented on the pages linked to by the tabs at the top of the site. Given the quantity of information that is available on hand tool woodworking, and the diverse places it is found on the web, it is a feature I hope people really become acquainted with and take advantage of.

Thanks again for the kind write up. As always, your comments are much appreciated.

Luke
