Stumbled across this reference site on another forum. Looks like a very interesting reference site. Sure to keep you up late at night.

Thanks Greg.

I just spent about 2 hrs browsing many of the WWing books. Interesting to see the evolution of furniture design and construction. The joinery - M&T, dovetail, etc. was born of necessity - make the wood the fastener.

Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page) is a gold mine of information, if you are not familiar with ebooks, check the web site.

Thanks for the link Greg.

Rob is one great guy and excellent woodworker who loves to share his knowledge. His web site is chock full of good information and if you ever need help, he loves to chat by PM and email. I have the honor of calling him a friend and he has helped me on several past issues.

My turn thanks for this link, now what I need is about 3 days of rain so that I can spend the time pursuing this site.
