Bad for eyes too.
I heard a story on NPR today that there is an epidemic of nearsightedness among Gen Z and younger who have grown up glued to screens.

Slightly off topic, but just to throw out some hope for those with hearing loss - some of the academic research institutions are making astounding progress with the application of stem cell therapy...
Wild guess here - maybe omitting the blade makes them acceptable to take on a plane?
Before 9/11 the claim to fame of Swiss Army knives was that they were airplane and airport approved worldwide.
Seems like a thread about semantics more than woodworking. Next time consider running a poll format.
"Are your tools dangerous yes/no"?
Remove the obfuscation, and I think the votes will come in...
Is it possible to hot glue your workpiece to a longer carrier board? Use the starter pin in your router table if possible.
You can remove the hot glue cleanly and easily with a little denatured...
The SawStop story is a long, winding road.
I think what riled a lot of the woodworking community was when Gass, back in 2003 after unsuccessful attempts to license the tech to saw manufacturers,...
Does it have something to do with yeast in the beer? Interesting!
My guess is he was using the fence and the fence scale as a way of quickly measuring his cut dimension.
I was taught the safer way to do this is to keep a 1" reference block of wood sitting on...
Thank you for notifying them. Based on your note, I hope they publish a correction or take the content down. If they do, then you may have saved someone from a mishap if they tried to emulate the...
Long 2" dowels that go through the vertical leg and into the opposing horizontal shelf. The shelf sits in a shallow stopped dado, same with the shelf on the opposing side. I used a shop made dowel...
Hi,
Thanks for the compliment! Yes, the holes are dowel holes for locating the vertical partitions that form the drawer box. Below is a completed photo that shows you how the two L pieces come...
Some projects don't lend themselves to band clamps. This was a table made from two L shapes. Here I did not use brown paper, just glued on the clamp blocks with a rub joint. I sawed them off with a...
It's seems kind of archaic that they would sell this archive in the form of a physical thumb drive.
You would think it would be something you could buy and simply download to your computer for your...
Hello Edward,
I don't know if this is a good example but here goes - A friend of mine is an excellent craftsman designer. Most of his work involves exposed joinery.
He has a chair line where the...
Same here. But your post title inspired me to put on some Jethro Tull, so it's a good day.
Glad you resolved your problem.
For the benefit of others here - don't make the mistake I just did. I recently sent in a ETS EC 125 for repair.
It started doing the thing described above, trying to spin up and then shutting down....
More thread drift. Lamello Top 21 here and I've lost track of the number of problems it's helped me solve.
I've waited to see if anyone else found irony in an original post mocking the kids working at the grocery store for their lack of arithmetic skills, yet misspells amalgamated in the post title! ...
I think it becomes more interesting to take Edward's data and add in the income per capita and calculate the ratio. Historically for financial planners a 4x ratio was a good rule of thumb for...
A lot of this analysis varies dramatically based on location. I say this in terms of both sides of the equation, one being income opportunity and the other being cost of housing/living.
Interest...
On a related note, I recently had an opportunity to tour the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). Highly recommend it if you have an interest in the subject. It is located walking...
These are good points. It is possible to make the contents of a safe waterproof. For example you could store jewelry in tupperware containers, and I knew a guy who sealed documents and cash in...
I must say, one of the many things I miss about living in Japan is the no tipping culture.
It is universally regarded that good service is an expectation and part of what you're paying for in the...
I still must not get it.
We're asking ChatGPT to explain why a given person does not enjoy doing a given task? Making drawers in this instance?
If I ask it why I don't like broccoli, should I...
The economic model does not necessarily require population growth. It requires productivity growth, measured in GDP. In the past that has been accomplished more through innovation than population...
