You know, I don't know. A few finishing elves would be nice. I'm not
looking forward to putting the finish on the entertainment center. I'm
building the one from Woodsmith 249. After assembling the carcases, I
realized I'm not building an entertainment center, I'm building a flippin'
room. So, a few elves to put on the Danish oil, followed by some Watco
wiping varnish would be nice.

I want Lee Valley for Christmas. All of it. If Black and Decker can buy
Delta/Porter Cable, then I should be able to buy Lee Valley. I'm taking up
a collection in the back.

Traitor? You're an insulting ass. Kerry served in combat and was awarded
several medals for heroism. The Republican special forces soldier whose
life he saved wrote about it in the Washington Post:

Absolutely. He'd be my first choice. By the way, he had a reputation for
being very aggressive in combat.

Sadly, no. It won't cover it. When people wake up tomorrow we're in for
another bout of angry people trading insults and high-level abstractions.
(Did any of these folks ever hear of S. I. Hawakawa? Stuart Chase? Levels of
abstraction?)
I will be _Sooooo_ glad when this election is over.

Or what we are going to make people for Christmas. (I still owe my folks a

Depends on how much effort you want to put forth for that person. For simple
gifts I'm partial to coasters with chip carved designs. Something I want to put
more time into might include house signs with relief carved designs. (I'm
working on one now that's got a macaw looking at a griffin because those are the
people's favorite animals.) Jewelry boxes/dresser boxes are always nice and the
bandsawn ones have been big hits.

If it was me, I'd make the cutting board detachable, or perhaps put slots in the
cutting board like a knife block to store the knives.

Why would anybody vote for a Traitor? I heard that if he is elected he is
going to appoint Jane Fonda as ambassador to North Vietnam. Would you
honestly want to be in a foxhole with this jerk? The morale in the Armed
Services overnight will be at an all time low. If he says the Swift Boat
guys are lying about him, why doesn't he take them to court and sue them foe
slander and defamation of character? They would love to get him on the
court room stand.

Dear Santa,
To save time, please find enclosed a copy of the latest Lee Valley
catalog, and my inventory of shop tools. Please send one of every item
in the catalog that isn't already in my inventory.
:)
Rob,
The wish list is a job well done.
Now where is the option to select the ENTIRE catalog and add to the
wish list?

At least Kerry has made up his mind on this one, he is going to give Terasa
a WAFFLE iron for Christmas, well I will take that back, if elected it might
well have been renamed as the "winter holiday" !!!! mjh
