How many times have you placed your router on your workpiece and realized you need more support under the router for stability?

My new craze is turning, so a newer, more modern lathe would be a nice addition to my shop. I really enjoy being able to start and finish a project in a few minutes time, rather than starting and finishing a few days later, as in most projects.

Splinters can be a problem, and you ask "what about the ones that aren't protruding above the skin?" About thirty years ago I bought a 'splinter probe' (no. 3615) from Zee Medical Supply, along with a pair of tweezers with a small maginying glass. The probe is three sided on the end and can go under the skin and slice it open to get to the splinter, then with the nice magnifying glass and tweezers the splinter will pull out. Many people try to use a sewing needle, but it's pointed on the end and just tears in one spot, not to mention very annoying in the process. The splinter probe eliminates that problem.

I've been building, finishing ane restoring new and antique furniture for 30 plus years, but realize i need to continually educate myself on old and new techniques. I'm sure this book would be beneficial to myself as well as many other fellow woodworkers. Building a project is only the beginning of piece of furniture, and we sure don't want to skip any other important steps, as this book would surely cover. THANKS FW!!!
