Video? What video?

It would have been nice to show the sizes of the MDF panels and the measurements and locations of the slots and rectangular cutouts. Otherwise, its going to take a lot of trial and error and wasted material to figure those out. In my opinion, the plan absolutely needs that information to be of any use.

Hey, my plane irons are razor sharp... my razor? Not so much.

I have most of the woodworking tools I need (there's always the need for more clamps), but after moving from Ohio where I had a basement shop to Memphis where they don't even have basements, what I really need is a heated/air conditioned shop to put all the stuff I have to work. Garage shops don't work in Memphis... at least not for me. Its either too hot and humid or too cold. Plus we have two cars to house in the garage. Are ya listening Santa? I've been good. Sort of.

Although, I've already put the bench cookies on my Christmas list, what I'd really like is a place to set up shop. Moving from Ohio where I had a really nice basement shop to Memphis where they don't have basements and the weather is either too hot and muggy or too darn cold to work in the garage has definitely put a crimp on my ability to do much woodworking at all. If I did have a dedicated shop, I would definitely have a top notch cabinet saw on the list. My ShopSmith is fine for small projects, but safe bevel ripping of large work pieces is out of the question.

You'll be missed Norm. Good luck. God bless. Thank you for the courage to try new procedures that I might not have ever attempted. Watching you do them allowed me and countless others to do the same. You are a class act.

Hope Santa leaves some cookies in my stocking.
