This would be a lovely addition to my library and a great resource. Learning to do French polishing would be fantastic.

Since I love to carve these would be excellent additions to my library.
posted: 1:33 pm on January 22ndRe: UPDATE: The Foundations of Better Woodworking by Jeff Miller
That would be an excellent addition to my library and a great expansion of the material I already own from Jeff Miller. I can always use more training and I like Jeff's style. Here's to hoping for a win.

I watched the first season on TV but my local PBS station changed its line up and now I cannot get it...however, I wouldn't be missing it if I won--hint, hint. ;^)

That would make a perfect addition to my library. Thanks for the chance.
posted: 2:39 am on October 13thRe: UPDATE: Sharpening & Tuning Hand Planes and Chisels by Hendrik Varju
I have watched a few of his other DVDs that my friends own and winning this would allow me to both start my own collection of Hendrik's DVDs and return the favour with my friends.

Re: UPDATE: Arts & Crafts Style Coffee Table with Gregory Paolini
Just put up a new book/media shelf in my shop...this would be just the accessory it (i.e. me that is) needs! Good luck to everyone.

That is stunningly beautiful. Wow.
posted: 12:52 am on June 4thRe: UPDATE: Practical Furniture Design from Fine Woodworking
I have picked this book up at least a half dozen times in the store but never bought it as something always distracted me and I put it back. I think the Fine Woodworking Gods knew it should be mine but steered me to wait until this draw. Who am I to argue with Gods? That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Seriously, I would love to have this book in my collection.

Looks like an excellent bit of viewing. Best of luck to everyone (but a wee bit more to me...LOL).
posted: 7:49 pm on May 17thRe: UPDATE: Fine Woodworking Best Workbenches from the editors of Fine Woodworking and a special magazine issue, Workbenches.
Best of luck to everyone but hopefully that luck will be mine when the draw happens. ;^)
posted: 3:13 pm on March 18thRe: UPDATE: Woodworking 101 by Aime Fraser, Matthew Teague, and Joe Hurst-Wajszczuk
That definitely would look good on my bookshelf and be a great read to boot. Thanks for the opportunity.

Coming from a long line of shipwright's, of which I'm sadly not one, winning this would be strangely appropriate.

Re: UPDATE: Using Your Router and Router Table Safely by Hendrik Varju
Sweet!! Hendrik's training DVDs are fantastic and would be a fabulous addition to my collection...not to mention adding a bit more Candian content wouldn't hurt.

Looks like a great one. Please count me in.
posted: 12:23 am on October 31stRe: Some times it seems so small but I get things done
I hear you Bob. I'm in the same boat but I would kill for the amount of headroom you have...the joys of a basement shop in a 97 year old house. You'd think they planned to just send the shortest members of the family down there. Sigh.
posted: 10:05 am on October 21stGreat shop and thanks for sharing.

I've got a couple of the other "Back to Basics" books and they are really very good. This one would feel right at home in my collection with a couple of its siblings. ;^)

Great shop and I do sympathize with the size as my shop has similar issues...you work with what you have.
posted: 3:52 am on April 4thI noticed the Rigid 14" bandsaw and the green riser block. Are you using the Grizzly riser block kit? Just curious because I have got one but haven't yet installed it (the Rigid one was just too bloody expensive and is exactly the same except for the green paint).
