Re: UPDATE: 2011 Fine Woodworking Archive DVD-ROM (1975 - 2011)

I would like to have this DVD!

Re: Behold, the Speed Tenon

Well, I don’t think I’d try it if I read about it. I woodwork to relax, to enjoy myself. Thankfully, I am not trying to produce as much as possible, as fast as possible. This type of get-it-done-quick technique does not appeal to me.

Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: Working with Tablesaws, from the editors of Fine Woodworking

Interesting cover.

Re: The Sale of Fine Woodworking Magazine

Ugly, ugly, ugly. I was totally hooked until I reached the new name and jumped back to the top to check the posting date. Whew!

Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: Wood Finishing Fixes by Michael Dresdner

I find Michael Dresdner's advice to be very helpful.

Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: Tables You Can Make, from the editors of Woodworker's Journal

I would like to have a copy.

Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: The Chairmaker's Workshop by Drew Langsner

Nice cover

Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: Windsor Chairmaking by James Mursell

I would like a copy of this book.

Re: Call for Submissions: Get design help from Fine Woodworking and Hank Gilpin

I am not a writer and I like the way you write, using words for color, spice and to convey and generate enthusiasm. I am a well known architect, in my licensed state at least, for my design skill in my area of expertise. I have served on design competition juries, been interviewed by newspapers, given at least 50 speeches on the topic that I am passionate about. I have influenced the development and refinement of a design theory.
I wish I would have been the first to post a response to your announcement. It is a terrific idea.
One thing about juried competitions – usually even the winners do not get constructive feedback. My work has gotten better over the years because I have been able to thrash it out one to one and three to five with incredibly talented designers in my area of interest.
Best regards, Joe

Re: UPDATE: DVD Giveaway: Jointer and Planer Secrets by Hendrik Varju

I'm tossing my hat into the ring.

Re: Poll: The Next FWW Tool Test

I am not interested in any of the listed prospects. This has been done so many times. In any of the woodworking magazines I subscribe to, I look at the pictures, see what 'won', say "that's nice", and move on never reading the text anymore. I would rather you use the space, effort and resources presenting a project I can build. Best regards, Joe
