So little time, so much to be interested in!  :-)  And I have this nasty
book collection habit too...  (Heck, books is mostly how I lernt how ta
do all them thAngs anyways!)  A while back, I bought a copy of "The
Complete Woodworker" over at Borders.  Liked it so much I went back and
bought another copy for my kid brother.  That and I recently bought
Flexnor's (sp?) book on wood finishing.  (I really like that one...)

Speaking of reading, I really liked the piece on saw sharpening in the
latest Fine Woodworking.  Comments?

OF COURSE!  And what an elaborate process of justification I (we?) go
through to justify it!  :-) :-) :-)

I actually thought about using the rec.woodworking abbreviation "RAS".
But I won't mention that kind of thing around here any more...!  ;-)

Does anyone keep old bios so that newbies can find out who is already on
the list?  (And can I find out what "number" I am?)
