Just wanted to say "thanks" to everyone who has stopped by for a visit and offer an apology for not getting more content online.  Things are progressing slowly and work keeps getting in the way of my efforts to spend more time in the shop.  I've done some recent work on my Craftsman Table Saw and will be posting some additional pics and information soon.

Please feel free to join up as a member of this site or leave a comment. I appreciate your continued interest in my meager efforts and wish you happy and safe woodworking!

One of my favorite reads...

Shortly after buying our home (an old Victorian with all of the usual ills in tact), I began collecting tools (mostly out of necessity) and became insatiably interested in the art of woodworking and the science of construction.  As my interest grew, so did my ever-expanding library of resources.  Somewhere along the line, I picked up a copy of Jeff Taylor's wonderful collection of vignettes, entitled "Tools of the Trade."

As this book is still one of my favorites, I thought I'd share a recently discovered  book review that I penned many years ago along with my best wishes for happy reading...

Abby Someone...

Sometimes a couple glasses of wine is bad medicine to take before tackling anything mechanical.  Sometimes it's just what you need to screw up the courage to do something you'd rather avoid.  Following up on my last post, I've entered the "Dr. Frankenstein" phase of restoring my Delta Rockwell 11-280 Radial Arm Drill Press, in that, I have begun switching parts over to it from the cannibalized 11-100.
