    It's been a while since I chimed in on the weekly roundup of Creekers' accomplishments. That's not to say that I haven't accomplished anything...

    My use of my crosscut sled is usually to make repeated short cuts. To that end my hold down is typically a No. 2 pencil with the eraser end pressed against the short offcut.

    There’s another waiting on the lathe for me to get back to it, having (hopefully) repaired the damage from a catch.

    Applying glue to both surfaces is the example I followed when beginning woodworking. I still usually do it that way more than 20 years later, at least when using PVA glue.

    The most hated tool in my workshop has a tail, so I'll save it for the other forum.

    My most unsatisfying hand tool is the Stanley #4 that I bought new in the early 2000s. For many years that one,...
