Re: chest on stand

Jasonmcbain don't pay attention to the absurd drivel ukmeager wrote. You've got a great cabinet here. Those compound curves in the doors are very difficult to pull out and you did great. The choice of woods is excellent and the overall feeling very pleasant.

ukmeager, you are anything but polite. Let's see, random things that come to my mind are, in no particular order:

- All cabinets on stand DO NOT have o be a Krenov imitation. He didn't even invented the concept.

- Krenov was very good but by no means the overrated great master everybody pretends him to be. After all, he only made infinite variations of a single cabinet for most of his career. And yes, I like and respect him very much but he was no god.

- Nobody has the right to destructively criticise other people's work without offering CONSTRUCTIVE and POSITIVE input on how it could be (very subjectively) "improved". By the way, you are even less qualified to do so given that you have not posted a single piece designed and executed by yourself.

- The internet is full of self-appointed gurus and experts, I prefer to call them basement jerks.

- I feel for you, living in Spain is not a choice I would make (but at the same time it explains right away your lack of politeness). :o)

- In Spain is very, very difficult to find good hardwoods but possible if you really want it, so no more lame excuses, go back to the shop and maybe this will humble you a bit.

Gentlemen, have a nice day.

Re: How to build a table, in 60 seconds

Sad and deceptive grammar in the lead-in mail title that, rather interestingly, is corrected in the article itself.

While he has crafted a nice video, this way of selling is improper of a publication like Fine Woodworking. I understand the desire and need to lure unique visits to the website but, please, let's not go for the cheap marketing techniques and keep the level of the publication where it deserves to be.

My thumbs down for this one.

Re: SawStop rolls out a more affordable cabinet saw, aimed at serious hobbyists

mstrrktek's argument is getting old already. The web fora were full of contrarians like him when the SawStop first hit the market. Them are people that find joy in arguing just for the sake of not going with the flow.

I bet he is probably still driving an old car without airbags because they would make him less careful and they would have to be replaced in the event of a crash.

And though, I don't see people constantly crashing carelessly into walls just because they have airbags and don't care anymore for they safety. How bizarre...

Me? I know my next TS will be a SawStop, no doubt about it.

And by the way, SawStop offers a EU version on their website so no excuses there.

Re: Sharpening 101: A Lesson in Cutting the Cheese?

Gary is one of the finest teachers and entertainers out there in the world of woodworking. This is a very hard-to-find combination and, as such, must be enjoyed and shared as much as possible.

By the way, if you haven't already done so, go check and subscribe to his blog's RSS feed on his school website. You'll be amazed to discover he is a great writer too.

Please, go ahead and bring us more videos and contributions from him.

Re: Shaker side table, birdseye maple

That's the proper way to do things. You, Sir, are a true gentleman.

Gorgeous table and wise choice of hardware, by the way.
