rec.woodworking book?

Why doesn't rec.woodworking band together and write a book about an
aspect of woodworking. Like Hand planes and planing? The cumulative
knowledge here seems to be more than elsewhere.

Probably 'cuz if you took all the posters of rec.woodworking and lined
us up end-to-end, we'd point in all directions?

I'd suggest "Buying a tablesaw" as a first title.

But we'd all be having fun.

Actually, several editors and writers of many of the
woodworking magazines monitor the group, along with
WoodCentral forums and the like, and do articles on
some of the threads "gems".

The real challenge would be organizing anarchy -
herding cats would be a hell of a lot easier.

Because it's too much like work.
Sharing knowledge is fun. Writing a book is a hassle. Besides, it's too
much like what some of us do for a living.

1: Start with wood
2: A miracle happens
3: Voila! a perfect dado.

(We might have to be a little more in that second step.)
