Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: How to Choose and Use Bench Planes and Scrapers by John English

Yep, sure would be a nice addition to the library as I build my skills! Wonder is Schwartz has a copy? ;-)

Re: Borrowing Tools

Wow! Talk about overprotective! Okay, I have favorite tools, some beautiful LN chisels among them. If someone asks to borrow them and I'm not using them, fine, no problem. Enjoy them and bring them back sharp, please. The friends who would ask no enough to take care of them, and have enough respect to both return them and return them sharp. When I borrow tools, I return them in equal or better condition than I got them in. Borrow a chain saw? Return it with a freshly sharpened blade and/or a new chain. Borrow a chisel, return it sharp. Break something? Replace it with equal or better. They're simple rules to live by, and work for me. Break a rule, and I learn a lesson and you are cut off. But that's just me. And my circle of woodworking friends is admittedly small.

Re: Future Period Furniture Articles

I'm with KevinLBS....info on pre-18th Century woodworking would be great! I love visiting the Met in NY to see the Renaissance and earlier pieces they have; and the works at Plymouth Plantation are fabulous. I like Kevin's idea of a themed magazine covering all the "pieces" from stock preparation (green, of course) to shaping, joining, and finishing. Or...a series covering a few aspects of each of these would be great, and keep people coming back for more....at least I would!

Thanks!
Derek
