Little Shop of Horrors
Some of you, with better memories than I possess, may remember that this summer – with much determination and bravado — I declared a firm date of the end of September to clean up my garage. (With the idea being that I could set it up properly as a workshop.) It turned out to be a stroke of good fortune that I failed to assign a year notation to that September deadline.

The Winner Is?
It may be because we are blessed with an excellent public education system, or because we are cursed with exceptionally long and foul winters – but regardless of the cause – Minnesota is a publishing hotbed.

Just JETing Along!
This special eZine is sponsored by WMH Tools … which you probably know better as JET, Powermatic, Performax and Wilton. When I read Michael Dresdner’s interview with WMH’s Steve Erbach, they talked about the long history of these companies, which threw me for a bit of a loop.

If you are like me, you’ve spent more than a bit of time recently thinking about those affected by Hurricane Katrina.

Brothers and Sisters in Messiness
I received a ton of e-mail (regarding my garage and its current disheveled state as discussed in the last eZine) from you folks saying, in essence, that I am not alone.

Showing the Way to New Tools
I just flew in from Las Vegas, and are my arms tired! (Bu-dum-bump!) But seriously, folks, I did just spend the lion’s share of last week at the AWFS big woodworking show in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Note to show organizers: if you are going to have a trade show in July, try Vancouver – not Las Vegas!)

Pocket-holing the Benefits
Maybe it is the commonality of our Midwestern roots, or perhaps it is just chance, but I have always really enjoyed the folks at Kreg Tools, both professionally and personally.
