I know what you mean with the hand tools. I used to get the funniest looks from guys when I would cut miters on open riser stringers with my hand saw. I am an old tool nut! all my hand tools are old, better steel than the junk made today, except some block planes I have. They are new and made by Lee Nielson. They stand up to my older ones and are a pleasure to use. The gentleman who taught me was a taskmaster as well. He would walk the entire stairway with his hand on the rail and find any little imperfection! He told me he could see better with his hands. He was right!!

That pool is awesome. I have been doing some stonework for family, just getting into it. Planning a small fish pond for my father. Don't know if we will get to it this summer. My body is revolting on me! Thank goodness for Kubota!!

They started building stonewalls around the pool today. They have a nice little excavator but there is still a lot of bull work.
These guys look very experienced at this. It is going to be really nice. I'll get some pics of it in a few days.

I think that pool is going to have a whirpool in the round upper part, with an outlet for water to cascade down into the lower pool.
