Why aren't you subscribing to Woodsmith instead, Glenn? It's more of a
cross between ShopNotes and FWW. I swapped to WS when the SN script
was up for renewal.


Woodsmith is one of the too many I get. It's a keeper, primarily for the
following reason:

When one of the kids (adult kids, but mine none the less) wants to build a
project, I can point them to the stack of Woodsmith back issues, and tell
them to look for something in there, and see if they can understand how to
build it. And then I'm willing to help them run the tools. I want it to
be their project, not Pop's project. Woodsmith goes into sufficient detail
that, as long as they can figure out the sharp parts of the tools, they can
probably have some measure of success. My job is reduced to instruction
and safety and project progress, so it doesn't clog the shop too badly.

When I want to do something for them that is creative and potentially
heirloom quality (he says with no appreciable modesty, or actual basis in
fact), then I want it to be on my terms, and on my schedule, and on my
budget.

No, Woodsmith may stay, even when SN expires.
