Re: Surprise landing: Stanley's new Sweetheart chisels have arrived

Not trying to be political, just observing that MOST americans are shopping at WalMart. Buying cheap goods. WalMart doesn't carry LN, because LN isn't interested in that market. If they ever become interested in it, I'll bet big the quality will drop sharply. You can call it greed on Stanley's part; or you can call it their business model.

I can think of some cheaper woodworking mags too, but here we are at the FW site.

You get what you pay for.

Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: Taunton's Complete Illustrated Guide to Choosing & Installing Hardware by Robert J. Settich

One more book means I will have to make new bookshelves and I have an idea I want to try, so send it to me, i dare you! :-D

Re: More Details on the Carlos Osorio Tablesaw Lawsuit

When I first saw the SawStop I thought "Great idea". I still do. I just temper the thought with the fact that I would pay for the device, and if I hit it, a new blade and cartridge. Then I thought, "Hmmm, if I just use one of these scrap pieces that I tell myself to throw away all the time, I can't possibly touch the blade with my flesh" Call me cheap. I will use the scrap. Call me stupid, if I skip the scrap and cut off a finger, I won't sue someone for my own irresponsibility.

Never gonna get rich this way :(

Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: Step-By-Step Guitar Making by Alex Willis

There's a project I keep trying to find time for, I have two sons who are musicians. If I make a guitar then I don't have to keep complaining that they take mine!
