Congrats Ken..!!!! You're gonna like those books AND the music CD's. Some of us weren't as good as you have been. Maybe next year. ;) :D

Wow! Great haul, Ken!!! I've got a few you show there but, that joinery book is really one to dive into right up to your neck! Some magnificent examples in there! Way to go!:) :cool:

I have and like the Joinery book...the pictures really can help you think about how things (can) go together! So many options...

Nice holiday haul!

I have most of those books and have found them all to be worthwhile reading.

Hey Ken, congratulations! Now, have you got a lathe yet? If not, and you want some turning time, drop me a line. As a fellow Lewistonian, I'd be happy to give you some time on my temporary lathe.
I just had a shop fire last month, and am in the process of rebuilding, so for now, I have a Delta midi setup in the carport until I can get the new shop up and the others lathed repaired. I have a Powermatic 3520A and a Jet VS1018 to get fixed, then there will be enough for everyone!
You're welcome anytime, drop me a line.

Forrest.........Thanks for the offer. I wouldn't know heads from tails on a lathe. Believe me when I say, I think to be a complete woodworker, one needs to know how to use those spinny things and I hope to have one someday. Right now, I want to get my shop finished, get a bandsaw, a new jointer and then dust collection. Once those are purchased, I intend on getting a lathe. Thanks again for the offer.

How's your rebuilding coming? Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Again....Thanks!

Yeah, but, but, but Ken...Once you have a lathe, the rest of those "things" become secondary! Well OK, I guess a BS is handy for lathe work, too, but me thinks you've got your priorities a bit skewed! (Yes, pun intended!!!:D ) :) :cool:

That looks like a great set of books Ken. I have not read any of them, but I expect that I would enjoy reading every one of them.
