Re: UPDATE: DVD Giveaway: Fine Woodworking 2011 Annual Collection

Yes!
But, for someone retired on a low fixed income, I'm doing good to buy the Printed version!

Paying for it again is out of my budget... I'll settle for another year of Printed version.

Thank you.

Re: Free Plan: Wood Storage-Miter Saw Station

epirnik & FineWoodWorking magazine,
Do you realize how this degrades OUR magazine?

This is NOT "Fine"... there is no word Bad enough to describe this when trying to compare it with "Fine".

A "Plan", if it's a Plan, should have full dimensions ON drawings... Namely: Front, Side,& Top views MINIMUM... other views to cover additional features of the Plan in order to assure an accurate building process following the printed Plan.

This so-called Plan does not come close in any way of doing that.

I ask You... Is this good for OUR magazine?!

Re: SawStop inventor Steve Gass defends the latest tablesaw verdicts

I think the Saw Stop technology is GREAT!

BUT, it should NOT be shoved down our throats as a mandatory feature that ALL Table Saws MUST HAVE!

I feel that it should STAY as it has been... PERIOD!

Let fair trade, economic laws, and the right to choose Right stay in place!

Let the people/companies, that can afford it and want it, GET IT and LEAVE THE REST OF US ALONE!

We already have TOO MUCH government intervention in our lives...
WE DO NOT NEED OR WANT ANY MORE!

That's my 2 bits worth...

Re: Simple Sliding Jig for Crosscut Guide

Nice simple jig...

All I do is Use the Clamp for my "Stop"... or to clamp a piece of scrap for the stop...

Cool use of T&G scrap!

Re: Norm Abram at Old Sturbridge Village

Well, I had just gone through a major medical problem and I needed to change the way I was living my life to get away from STRESS... I stumbled on The New Yankee Workshop on TV... WOW! What a cool program! I can learn something from this! I watched & recorded it whenever I could. From there, I started collecting some tools... started making small things... the cost of wood was not anticipated for my limited fixed income... what a BLOW! ... I collected wood on trash day whenever people were throwing perfectly good wood... a friend gave me his scraps... My first large project was a small kitchen island table unit... I used 2x4's, trimmed to look good, glued them together for the legs... pallet scraps for as much as I could... and I broke down and purchased some Poplar for what was needed to finish it... Norms tutoring got me through it! I now enjoy making small boxes, little things, as well as book cases & an entertainment center! I love to design, draw, and build what I want... I did buy the plan for the island!

I hope NYWS episodes will continue to be shown... even though I have seen them a few times, I STILL enjoy watching them to embed the techniques into my mind.

I've always wondered about one thing though... "and now a few pins to hold it while the glue dries."... after the glue dries, does he take them out? (big grin)

Norm, thanks a MILLION for your wonderful education! May the rest of your life be happy and fulfilled the way you want it! We look forward to seeing you again in future ventures you may decide to take.

Above all... Have FUN!

Thank you,

Re: Garden tote is easy and useful

When the document first came up (without logging in) it would NOT display the individual pictures when they were 'clicked'... it drove me out of my mind... I was furious as to how such mistakes could get by the simplest form of testing!

I was SO MAD, I was going to comment on the subject to let you know about it.

I find out I have to Login to send a Comment... so I do.

NOW, the pictures WORK when clicked!

May I suggest that you do one of TWO things?
1. Instead of NOT displaying the pictures when clicked, display "Sorry, you must Login in order to see the pictures".

or

2. Just display the pictures when they are 'clicked'.

It is NOT GOOD to continue they way it is!

Thank you,
Joe
