Re: It's impossible to cheat at woodworking

I love Matt Kinney's balanced attitude, but he has written "I'm not a handtool nut" in last months article and "fellow handtool freaks" in this blog post. I am not sure if I am supposed to feel offended, or feel kinship... ;)

Re: Behold, the Speed Tenon

Hey - Not too fast...If I pay what Chris Becksvoort asks for his work, I want each joint to be excruciatingly slow for him. ;)

Re: UPDATE: Rough Cut - Woodworking with Tommy Mac by Tommy MacDonald and Laurie Donnelly

I haven't been able to find Rough Cut on PBS in SoCal, so it would be fantastic to have a hard copy...

Re: Shop Talk Live 17: Behind-the-Scenes at Lee Valley Tools

This podcast BEGGED for video (or even pictures). Even the title "Behind-the-Scenes" suggests that we might SEE something. It was an interesting and worthwhile interview, but a missed opportunity in my opinion.

Keep up the good work.

Re: Stephen Colbert Takes the Sizzle Out of SawStop

The woodworker in the video states: "...I should be able to cut off my own finger with my table saw if I want to."

Didn't he say at the beginning that he cut off his finger because he "made a careless mistake?"

That does not make it sound as if he WANTED to cut his finger off...

Hmm...

Re: Geoffrey Warner: Assembling a Life

I also was at RISD (but in the late eighties - after Frid), and definitely see hints of Tag Frid's influence in some of Warner's design, particularly his chairs. His work seems to go far beyond that, however. Nice.
