Better stock up on your power tools soon (or at least by April 2).:eek:;)

They usually get a lot of complaints before people realize the date. Did you see their free plans? :D

I can hardly wait for their article on shop-made sandpaper.

I think it's cool that a magazine would put that much thought into a gag.

Oh, I thought you said, Lie-Nielsen ! *chuckle* They, like the Neander forum here at SMC, are big contributors to NAPS! *eye roll*

Happy April 1 !!

Yes, it is an April 1st joke.
Lee Kneelson?

There is an island in the Detroit river, Grosse Isl, that a local paper many years ago reported they were going to wrap chains around it, and tug boat it up the Detroit river.
My Sister-in-law believed it.

I like the shop-made sand paper in Tricks of the Trade and the "detailed" plans for wood shims you can actually make yourself!!! Triangular - what a great concept. My cube shaped shims never seem to work very well.

The same link showed a woodworker that painted all of his work black. I liked the Ellie McPherson comment anyway in that one. Happy April first.

Woodworkers could lose a few pounds? I just picked up and moved my 400 pound jointer and 500 pound planer to make room for my 500 pound drum sander! Who needs hand tools?!!!

Very funny! A little too close to the way thing are going in the reality.
