Re: Why does FWW cost more than other magazines?

As a charter subscriber to FWW ( I have every back issue)and to the FWW web site I can honestly say I have never been disappointed by a single issue. My favorite issues had the centerfold designs.I have evolved into much more of a hand tool user over the years and the magazine and web continue to get my attention. I especially enjoy the video workshops such as Phil Lowe making a cabriole leg.
Keep up the good work Asa and I hope to see you in Williamsburg this year.

Re: Tablesaw Safety Goes Under the Microscope--Again

"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers"
Congratulations Mr. Attorney Glass your technology resulted in an outrageous damage award that hopefully need never be paid out. In addition your saws are selling all over the country. Now you are getting greedy. Have you invented a similar technology for chop saws, radial arm saws, band saws, skilsaws? How are these any less dangerous than table saws?
Safety with any power tool is about proper operation and training
I question the 10 finger amputations a day data. I suggest this is a case of statistical manipulation.

Re: Is the Radial Arm Saw on its Last Legs?

I own two RAS a 14" DeWalt and a 10" Chicago Machine. I would not part with them. The 14" is used to crosscut rough stock in the lumber storage room and the 10" performs the same task on smaller stock in the shop. Both saws are set up to crosscut at 90 degress only, a task they were designed for.

Re: Hand-tool lovers converge on Williamsburg

Asa,

I am a charter subscriber to FWW and I have attended 7 out of the last 8 Williamsburg conferences. FWW does a wonderful job in sponsoring the event and I look forward to many future conferences.
My favorite issue was with the centerfold of a chest on chest. I always enjoy the detailed articles on furniture construction such as Chris Becksvoort's recent article.
What is the possibility of a similar article on TJ's stand up desk?
I hope Mark found his coat.
