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

That is a great prize. Since I already get the full archive, if I win, I will donate it to my local Woodworkers Guild library.

Re: UPDATE: Fine Woodstrip Canoe Building from Bear Mountain Boats

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

Cheers.

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.

Thanks for the chance at winning it.

Re: 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.

Great shop and thanks for sharing.

Cheers

My shipwright Grandfather left me a model squRe rigged ship which I have yet to complete. Winning this tome might be just the push I need to get started on building it. Here's to hoping!

Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: Back to Basics: Setting Up Your Workshop from Fox Chapel Publishing

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. ;^)

Thanks for the chance to generate this "family reunion".

Re: Chris Nilluka, Small Beaverton Oregon Shop

Great shop and I do sympathize with the size as my shop has similar issues...you work with what you have.

I 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).
