Many thanks for the kind words and warm welcome! I didn't expect to find as many familiar faces here as I have - Good to hear from all of you!
Dan - Glad the bookrack turned out as planned! A little somthing I do which didn't make it into the article, just as an insurance policy I pin the trhough tennons, by shooting a brad through them, into the side/end panels. I do this from the inside of the rack, after final assembly - Actually, I think I pin almost every joint - If not with an actual wood pin, then with a small brad - A little extras insurance never hurts
Rob - Great to hear from you again! Hope y'all enjoyed my rendition of stomp over at the sawyer's shop - I don't recall chopping a mortise ever being that loud
Ozzie - Is that my "Neighbor?"
Don - I don't think there's any realation to Christopher Paolini... Although I do know a middle aged author named Gregory Paolini, but I'm pretty sure they're on two different pay scales - Great to hear from you
Tarhead - Glad you like the video! Rumor has it, that they're going to release it as a DVD - I don't know anymore details than that though (Honest). I'm hoping to do some more of them -
And to everyone else - Thanks again for the kind words and warm welcome!
