Hi,
I was just thinking, there's no version of "..for Idiots" related to
woodworking!
We're being sadly neglected and overlooked here.
We need to assemble it on our own, if we have to!
Who's for "Woodworking For Idiots"?

A quick search reveals it's too late:

What amazes me is that the Pres. says everything is fine when the
economy is not up to snuff, people are unable to find jobs, we will
rebuild Iraq when we did not Viet Nam or Korea, retirement funds have
taken it on the chin, Red Cross is broke, and new we have or soon will
have major damage to the East Coast. People are unable to make
motrtages and losing houses. The list goes on. Does not make sense to
me to rebuild the rest of the world when we are letting the US go to
pot. Taxes WILL be going up no matter what anybody says. Didn't we
have a Pres. that once said "read my lips". Sure glad he was not kin
to our present Pres.. Was he?

Yep there is ... and it ain't all that bad.either. The author some time
under Tage Frid and has some good concepts. I got it for Xmas a few years
back and kept in the "library", next to the throne, for the couple of months
that it took to finish it. I moved it out to the shop and haven't opened it
since, but I didn't want to throw it away. IIRC, the chapter(s) on lumber
and wood were pretty good. It did have some "conventional wisdom" that I
don't necessarily subscribe to, like alternating annular ring orientation
during glue-ups, etc. but for the most part it would be a good book for a
newbie.

That would be "Woodworking BY Idiots", wouldn't it?

A: The idiots think they already know how.
B: The lawsuits from chopped off body parts would bankrupt the author.

How will they open the book having already cut off their fingers?
Perhaps plans for a book opening jig on the back cover...

Hi,
In a way, I was thinking of something like this. I see the idea isn;t
new. Oh, heck-
Dave Barry could write a good one, if we give him the material?

A framing hammer, a bondo rasp, and $4.98 combo square.
What a start!
