Hey, Those Pictures Move and Talk!
Guess what? Your favorite woodworking eZine just got even better. I can almost hear you thinking: “Oh Rob, that’s just not possible! How could something as super-duper as the eZine possibly get any better?”
Well, I am not going to be coy about this. The newest improvement is (drumroll, please …): we’ve added a video Trick of the Trade (right below this editorial) to this eZine — and will have one in each issue going forward!
I am excited about this development. Chris Marshall has kicked off our new effort, but you can be assured that yours truly and a host of the best woodworkers around will be taking part in our “Tricks” content. I hope you find them as satisfying as I do.
