Re: UPDATE: Using and Tuning Your Bandsaw by Hendrik Varju

This has to be the most amount of information ever assembled on the bandsaw. I find the bandsaw frustrating because I either have too high expectations of either the machine or me or both

Re: New Study Discusses Tablesaw Injuries

Lots of reasons: education, recklessness, arrogance. Why should they bother with being that concerned about safety when every week for the last 2 decades they have watched a certain TV personality use no guard, no splitter, and occasionally only a push stick? I hope whoever takes over that show gets the safety message out there. A message at the front of the show saying guards have been removed to show clarity in showing the procedures is an insult to everyone's intelligence. He didn't use them because he did not want to be bothered. I work in a woodworking store -- you ought to see what comes in there for injuries. We have a major hand-surgery center a few miles from where I live. The stories about saws in general are awful. We are finally making progress with the U.L encouraged riving knife movement.

The major part of this problem is attitude. Very little is accidental.

Re: iPad and Woodworking?

Lack of Flash Video support is a real killer. This dispute between Apple and Adobe should have been resolved a long time ago. For this reason, I do not recomment iphone, ipod or ipad to anyone wanting great state of the are multimedia experiences. Also these things are very deficient in the personal information management categoy. I went back to the palm pilot simply for the software involving keeping calendars, contacts and memos.

Re: Future Period Furniture Articles

Keep the mix of assorted styles that you have done over the recent past -- in fact expand it if possible.

Within the articles:
(1) Strongly encourage a video component that can be added to your website. I realize that quality of these will vary, but should get better over time. If quality is too poor, don't do it.
2. Require that a Sketchup plan accompany the article and make the file available on the website. This software is revolutionary. It is easy to use, easy to learn, etc. I gave up on every other lower-priced 3D drawing program I have used in the past. It is easy to modify drawings -- in particular changing sizes.
