I'm not so sure, Swingy. The man is QUICK! And have you ever watched

OK ... that takes care of a few drawer SIDES. Now, let's get all that

handtools. I use power almost exclusively on site for clients because
they won't pay me extra for Neanderwork.

delicate for power tools ... g

You take an RCH off the length of a board with a Disston instead of a

Bueno, bwana.
