Great beginning to a new and very important game! Safety is everything, take it from a guy who tried to bypass it for "one last cut" and nearly lost two fingers. Still have both fingers but at only about 80% use. Can't make a complete fist and hard to maneuver small hardware around. I'm working in my shop more than ever and still find myself thinking about taking a shortcut, but intelligent enough to look at the picture of my once sutured and ravaged fingers I have taped to my tablesaw headstock. Great reminder of what can happen, no matter how long you have enjoyed this craft, when you lose the Safety Attidude. Your (grand)kids will enjoy all those toys and projects, but I'm sure they would trade any of them to be able to walk with (Grand)Dad through the woods holding a complete hand. Sound a little rough? Good, it almost happened to me and if this encourages any of you to think before committing an unsafe act then I guess it helps me live with it. Have a Safe and Enjoyable Woodworking Day!!!

I've eaten Thin Mint cookies,(crumbled on vanilla icream), deleted Tracking cookies,(from my laptop), tossed all my cookies,(on a bad night), sure would like to try the Rockler Bench cookies, (on one of my upcoming projects).

Eye-catching cover! The give-a-way should be a great sales promo. If variety is the spice of life, then versatility is the spice of a woodworker's life. This book should compliment that versatility. Besides, too many books is like too much fun!
