Looks good, but for some reason I can only download 2 pages of the plan. Am I doing something wrong?

Can this book tempt me away from Lie-Nielsen??? It's worth a try!!!

Maybe one day I'll be editor of Fine Woodworking magazine??? Then things will change!!!

I have to say that I found the tenon shoot out article in the magazine,with its focus on speed, a little bit pointless. Surely the best tenon cutting technique is the most appropriate for the job and you. This will depend on a number of factors, sometimes hand cut and sometimes machine cut, including:-
- Number of tenons to cut;
- Size of tenons;
- The type of tenon;
- Strength of joint required;
- Material to be used;
- The tools and equipment you have access too;
- The time you have to complete the job;
- and last, but by no means least,the amount of satisfaction you require from have cut a well fitting joint by hand.
As a child I was read the story of the hare and the tortoise and learnt that being the fastest does not
necessarily mean you're an automatic winner!!!

Can never get enough timber! I'm alway on the look out for unusual grain or colour patterns. Only problem is, I need to build a new timber store to accommodate!
For tools, I tend to put ticks in my favourite tool catalogue and give it to my wife to organise everyones gifts for me for christmas and birthdays. Works really well!!!
