This one was funny. 26. I was smiling about this one until I read 27... The final 3 were good as well or maybe -- Thank you, "Then said I, Wisdom [is] better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom [is] despised, and his words are not heard."

It's log run, certainly not FAS, but the power of the 15" stationary planer compared to even the best portable planers has to be used to be appreciated. This is a point where heavier duty good tools outdo lighter duty good tools (not always the case. Charlie Self |

My skill level puts me right around 44 through 47 http://community-1.webtv.net/Woodwor...ysWoodworking/ Many of these seem to be purloined from an old electronics company's (1960s) Murphys Laws...but they missed one that would still apply for woodworking and that is Murphy's Law of Selective Gravitation: "a dropped tool will always land where it can do the most damage." |

Yeah, and I'm livin' #47 with my workbench top. I coulda bought one for
about $360. I'm way past that mark. BUT, I keep tellin' m'self that it's exactly the way I want it, not the way somebody else wanted it.

Are you the Charles Self that wrote "Super Simple Birdhouses You Can Make"?
If so, nice job! My then 10-year-old daughter and I made 8 of the "Easy Cleaning Wren Houses" for Christmas gifts last year. Tons of fun. Now, my 5-year-old son and I are going to make one of the nesting shelves for robins. We picked out the project last night, and he can't wait to get started. Thanks for great projects I can do with my kids! Pete "Charlie Self" wrote in message ups.com... RayV wrote: Came across this while searching the archives for dust + explosion.
