I am not even sure how I am making time to write this editorial. Having completely ignored the imminent approach of Christmas in recent weeks, I have — as of now —moved into "woodworking shop ninja mode." Tools are humming and woodchips are flying and any unimportant distractions, like work, personal hygiene or food, will just have to wait. The cacophony of sounds accented by loud, colorful exclamations resounding from within the walls of my shop should serve as a reasonable warning to anyone considering stepping across the workshop threshold — but to avoid any possible confusion, let me just say it plainly: GO AWAY, I AM BUSY.
