    Matt, these web pages might be a big help for you

    http://www.woodworkingathome.com/ShopTour/woodworking_shop_tour.htm

    This is the place where we film the magazine. The machinery is all within the "3rd bay area" with the exception of the outfeed...

    While my situation is a little different than most....

    My Primary rule is

    DON'T BE STUPID!

    Fairly basic, but it sort of sums up everything and helps to keep me on my toes. Woodworking is dangerous enough, now add to that, the distractions of...

    There is one tool that may be okay....

    Sanders, random orbit or jitterbug, create all sorts of vibrations. When doing a lot of sanding, the nerves in the hands and wrists can get very irritated. This leads to some really nasty pain that...

    I know all of you would prefer I look better on camera

    I know all of you would prefer I look better on camera, but I stand by the rules put forth and posted somewhere in the shop, no neck ties. Hmmm, perhaps I could wear one of those bow tie things -...

    Understanding safety....

    First, let me clarify, I too am guilty of wearing a wedding ring while running machines, so yes, I violate my own rules.

    However, loose clothes, gloves, etc. are all nasty things around any power...

    Have your tried the GRR-Ripper....

    Hi Jim,

    Have you tried that technique Paul Anthony demonstrated in the Micro Jig DVD for making those "Angled" cuts on small parts? Pretty neat technique but I find myself doing it on the bandsaw...

    Something else to consider....

    Magazines (including ours) try to publish either a cut-list or a cutting diagram of some sort. Many woodworkers follow these to the letter when making projects and I feel they are one of the worst...

    My waistline says....

    My wasteline shows I like to eat, but I have never been able to figure out cooking. Everyone in my family could cook and thank goodness my wife can cook, otherwise I would starve to death.

  10. Thanks again everyone! I am making it through the day!

    Also,

    Mike, the idea of a balsa wood pack of smokes with a picture of "My girl" on it is a great idea! I think that should be part of every "quiting smokin" efforts!

    Thanks again everyone,...
  11. Tha't strange...

    Having a rather stressful week so far I was holding off the urges to smoke while entering my fourth week. This morning, I ended walking out behind the shop area to have a smoke - I don't even have...

    Can't tell where they are....

    Hi again,

    I can't really tell where the scratches are in the picture of the whole unit. Just guessing from the small photo (close up), there is a chance they are lower on the headboard. Could it...

    That's a tough one to fix....

    Here are some suggestions....

    Stand back and look at the headboard as a whole. Try to visualize if there is something you could add to it that could cover the scratches.

    This could be an...

    Back when I was a little tike, we made U-Control airplanes. I can't remember the name of the glue we used back then (perhaps that is why the glue is not longer used ;) ), but when using that glue,...

    Great looking chess board....

    It is a great design and very eye catching. Due to the complexity of the curves and the matching curves needed on the bases of the blocks, I have to reduce the concept down to an illusion.

    Hi George....

    In a perfect world that would be the perfect situation. None of us (that I am aware of) can store our lumber in the house. So, the next best thing to do is to monitor the MC and use materials all...

    I tell you what to do......

    Tell me where the stash is and I will check it out for you. It is most probably horrible wood that simply cannot be worked either by hand tools or power tools. ;)

  18. That's a good push!

    Hi Tim,

    That sounds like a good push to help me along, I like it!

    Both of my parents are still alive, but they are both on Oxygen as they too were life long smokers. I just hope that I have...
  19. Thanks Jerry!

    Good resolution on your end too! It will take a little while to get used to the GRR-Ripper, but once you do, you will wonder how you ever did woodworking without one. Very rare is the occasion when...

    Thanks for the encouragment Jon!

    I have another person in my life that also provides a lot of encouragement - my granddaughter. Every time she looks at me with those cute little blue eyes, all I...

    Jack, That's a lot of smokes!

    I had to chuckle when you mentioned the size of the ashtray. Outside the shop door is a large metal garbage can, this was used for my butts. While it got emptied...
  22. I know what you mean about that 1 smoke......

    Hi Teresa,

    I know what you mean about "just 1 smoke" away from being a smoker again. I have been down that mistaken path way too many times over the years of trying to quit.

    Luckily for me, in...
  23. He is safe - For the moment!

    Hi Glenn,

    The camera man is safe for the moment (I am on break between takes). Thanks for the compliment on #13 - being #13, I was a little nervous about that one :)

    "Should" stay flat...

    Jim's got it right, but keep in mind that if you make it out of a wood product, it has the chance of warping. I have had two of them warp in the shop, both made entirely out of Birch plywood. It...

    Top Secret!

    Well, the location where the shop is and where we film the magazine is in Algonquin, but the exact location is top secret. :cool:
