Does anyone know if I can use two extension on the ends of the Youbo?
I'd like to go a bit longer.

Email Lee Valley and ask them. If they don't know, they will find out
for you. Their customer service is top notch.

This afternoon, think I'll email Lee Valley customer service and see
how many questions they got about the Youbo.

Didn't even have to look to know what it was: The date, Ed, and LV all
add up to no good.

I thought the "free" package of 10 dog holes was the clincher ;-)

I wonder if it integrates well with the Woodcraft Splinter(TM).

Yeah, that's the kicker. Lee Valley doesn't give *ANYTHING* away. ;-)

Many of the April Fools products are pretty good ideas. At least
one -- the "Story Tape" (blank tape measure) -- ended up being added
as a real product.

This one has some details that may well end up in a lot of shops.

I liked the STORE tool chest shown in the video!

I thought about that a couple times, as I secured a workpiece in a vise
yesterday. Sometimes vertical is a great way to go for working.

Unlike many hobbies, with woodworking, gravity is usually your friend.

Not when it's a dropped chisel or plane, or any tool, or even the wood
you are working on. :-(

After you've been doing woodworking a bit longer, my young friend, you'll no
doubt find that you don't need crutches like that to get you past the
limitations of your current skill level. Guillaume-Robert, or for that
matter any old-timer who grew up using his remarkable bench, would tell you
that even one extension would fall into the category of what we today call a
training wheel.

I did say, "usually". ;-)

A couple of decades ago, I knocked a knife off the bench at work. I
instinctively jumped, spread my feet apart and raised my hands above
the table. A cow-orker remarked that my reactions "weren't natural".
"Everyone else would reach to grab the knife to stop it from falling."
Screw the knife, and the floor. ;-)

I'm programmed the same. We've already decided what we're going to do.

If you make a habit of wearing flip flops, that kind of reaction develops
quickly. Drop something on your foot once or twice, and you become much
more aware of the effects of gravity. :-)

Don't tell me you wear flip flops in the shop???
I realize that sneakers aren't much better, but still, you won't get
splinters through your sneaker (smaller ones). Certainly a sneaker
won't offer much protection from a knife or chisel...

The leather uppers on my sneakers/tennis shoes/running shoes/athletic shoes,
pick your regional variation, deflect a dropped chisel much the same as the
leather uppers on a work shoe. That said, _if_ i drop a chisel (which I
try not to), I'll move my feet out of the way before it hits the mat
protecting the chisel from the concrete floor.

I did the opposite, kinda'.

I was re-installing a set of planner blades in a 20 Powermatic in the ag
shop, and re-adjusting them. A wrench or something was sitting up on the
top of the planner, and students were gathered around learning to at least
appreciate what it took to set up a planner. One of them bumped the
[whatever] and it was about to hit the newly sharpened and honed blade. I
tried to grab it, and in doing so, ran my knuckle along 3 or 4 inches of
blade. About 3 stitches, as I recall, almost to the bone.

I did keep from getting the blade nicked, though! It was all instinct,
unfortunately.

A friend dropped a knife in the kitchen and "instinctively" grabbed it.
Unfortunately, the sharp edge sliced an inch deep into the web between
thumb and forefinger.

I'd be very pleased to fit into the "unnatural" category.

Nice save..
That's not a nice place for stitches.. no meat there.

I also step quickly away, but it is a trained response (fortunately
without an injury story behind it). While I am stepping away, there
is a voice in my head shouting, "Don't do it. Do! Not! Catch!"
