Here is my perspective as a retired Wood Shop teacher. Just some suggestions to consider:

You don't teach woodshop. You teach students. It's about them learning about themselves first. How do...

Thanks Tom. I think I posted it poorly with that title and not much info to promote a click on such a rich site as this. I'll do beter next time.

I mentioned this group in the context of our lamentation over Notre Dame after the disasterous fire almost three years ago. I have no doubt that a full and faithful restoration is possible if the...

I have the hadware for a tail vise. It looks like the green one shown in the LV catalogue. I have no idea how to costruct the entire vise. A brief search wasn't very helpful. I'm interested in the...

Fear not. When I first heard of the fire I thought immediately of the Medieval guilds that built this cathedral and many like it. Their tradition is still alive and well in France and Germany, and...

Beautiful work. How many hours would you say it took from start to finish? Us lesser mortals want to know.

Chris Schwarz??!!! There's a name you don't hear much anymore.... Any opinions on that guy?

Hi Bubba:

I'm planning a similar project for my own house and am wrestling with dimensions. I love the proportion in your cart. Would you be willing to share? Also, what about the "cart" part? ...

I am a new Middle School (grade 6-8) woodshop teacher. Much more on that later. But my immediate need is for a few videos I can place in my sub folder that will hold the interest of 12 - 14...

Very basic question here from a novice- A friend is looking for a tv stand that will fit in a corner and I'm not sure where to begin.

It's supposed to be knee high, have two shelves, and fit into...

You have a little time to get creative. Find a sawmill or even guy with a woodmizer and someone with a big enough truck and make some kind of deal. There's plenty of wood there to go around.

With the early Nor'easter that hit a couple of weeks ago, I see a lot of tree work going on. Much of the windfall is free for the taking, if you can stay ahead of the FEMA teams doing the removal.

As usual, David, you strike at the heart of the matter.

So I finally went to the emergency room for treatment related to Neanderthal woodworking.

Completely wound-up about some personal issues, I retreated to my basement shop to blow off some steam...

Please. I do not want to start a bloodbath here. I'm just offering a point for your consideration.
