This DVD would be of great help, pop it into my DVD recorder and watch it on the TV with the advantage any instructions,help aids etc. could be halted, inched forwards or backwards as I try them out at the same time whilst running Sketch-up on my computer. Looks a great deal, even better if I can win a free copy!.

I had a number of hinges to fit in a cabinet so I made up a drill guide that located in the countersunk hinge hole [ a simple 2 piece devise ] which guided the pilot drill central to the hole in the hinge. Have since made others with different size pilot holes for different hinges. I always drill the middle hole first and secure the hinge hinge in place before drilling the outer holes.

As an English subscriber to the magazine I can only praise the way the magazine is compiled, it's contents and the detail that is put into the publication. Like all specialist magazines there are many topics that fall outside my real interest range, however by reading these article there are times when one can pick up a useful technique that can be applied elsewhere. I find the detail of the drawings, the photographs cover 90% of what one requires and do not find much need for cut lists etc.

Being also an online member I find this service absolutely wonderful for reading back articles and working techniques of all types. This has got me out of the proverbial on many occasions. I do not know any other publisher that offers this service. I would not like to go all digital as reading your magazine is a great way to relax sitting in a comfortable chair, can't beat it.

I envy you Americans in that you have much easier access to quality wood than what is available locally here in the UK where good wood suppliers are thin on the ground.

Finally just to say looking forward to my next copy of FWW.

This configuration of tooling is common in engineering machine shops, however to ensure that everything is set up correctly and that ever tooth is positioned and seated in the tool a jig would be necessary to hold the arbour so that each tooth could be checked for correct position. Any tooth not seated correctly would leave a gouge or groove in the planed material. Not always plain sailing.

How about the word ARRIDGE, meaning to remove sharp edges. As in "Don't forget to ARRIDGE the edges of the box before you finish stain".

I really must concentrate and get back in the groove!
