Long live the craft.....!!!!
Ace..........better yet....great to see your name pop up.
Thanks!!!!
Ace, I'm going to try to do more content. The past 2 years have been exciting. We all know where housing is and I took advantage and have been experimenting and researching available machinery in a 1.5 hr driving radius of my shop. There's a few guys out there who know what I've been up too. David (above) is one of them. Also, I spoke to an Advanced Furniture Design class at Oswego State University, that was really exciting and as you know have been helping Tommy with his forum. Been keeping woodworking busy, just not on my stuff.
I plan to go back and pick-up my loose projects...they where all article related and were either to complicated or just simply rejected. I believe I understand the submission process better now, but that doesn't really mean anything, alot has to do with the magazines unknown (to us) agenda.
Ace.... I am hoping to get a bit more consistant, by providing more written posts to fill-in for the video editing time requirement. My personal work will always come first though.
Ace........I really appreciate your contact.

Neil,
Great to see you posting again. I like the "start from the start" approach. You know my thoughts on letting our tools ( or lack thereof) dictate what we can do in the shop.

Hey Mark......how are you, another name I enjoy seeing.
I know exactly how you feel about designing within the constraints of your tooling:

Those interested, this is an excellent blog post with very good comments.
Thanks Mark....Neil
