Often the groundwork for a successful project is
laid long before you make the first cut. Here are
some suggestions for ensuring both the quality of
the project and your enjoyment in making it.
Prepare a clear workspace by moving or storing
other projects you have made, or have in the
works. If there is a project you want to come
back to, then put it in a safe place out of the way.
If you don’t do this you might find the wood
repair article on page 24 very useful.
Put your tools back in place so that when you really get into the
swing of making your next project, you can remain focused on the
making of it, and not on looking for the handtool you were using a
day or two ago. Building the versatile hand tool display rack will
assist you with this (see page 12). Also, before you put them away, do
yourself a huge favour and sharpen them (see page 43).
Check over your lumber very carefully and set aside any that is
cupped, bowed, crooked or twisted. If you have a jointer and a
thickness planer, check out the skill builder for preparing your own
lumber on page 4.
Think through each of the building steps to ensure you have what
you need and finally, before you start, measure twice! See the digital
caliper article on page 38, which includes a handy fraction/decimal
conversion chart. After all this preparation, you are sure to enjoy both
the process and the results.

I enjoy watching woodworkers, as they stroll
by my booth at the woodworking shows across
Canada. I especially like when the passers-
by recognize me, and give me their particular
version of a greeting.
Sometimes it’s a wink, sometimes it’s a nod.
Sometimes it’s a brief comment, like “Love the
magazine!” or “How’s Linda?”. But of all the
greetings and expressions, the one that I find most
entertaining is the one that is blurted out, almost
unconsciously, and it goes something like: “Hey, you’re that guy!”
The people who make such exclamations then usually walk over,
shake my hand, and explain that, although they receive an eNewsletter
from me every month, and see my photo in that newsletter, they hadn’t
considered running into me at a show – hence the involuntary exclamation.
After we talk a bit about the newsletter, and woodworking in
general, they are usually back on their way, and answering their
spouse’s question of “Who was that guy?”
So if you are receiving our free monthly eNewsletter, don’t be
surprised if you run into me at an upcoming woodshow (see
complete list of shows on page 50).
If you are not currently receiving our eNewsletter, please visit our
website and sign up now.
If you don’t recognize the photo of the person sending you the
eNewsletter… I’m that guy!

Setting up New Shop
I was delighted to get your Oct/Nov’07
issue (#50). It was especially timely as
my old drill was having problems with
the batteries. After reading your article on
the 14.4 Volt Drill/Drivers I went out and
picked up a new Hitachi DS14DL. It
sure is a power house!
I recently put up a 12' X
20' shed to be used as my
workshop. Not too hard to
do with some help from family and
good friends. I’ve still some work to
skirt it in, but it’s nice to be above
ground for once.
My first setback came when
I started to hook up the dust collection
system. I got to the point where I stopped
trying to adapt, and instead installed a new
system. Conclusion – the dust collection
system is not that expensive, but hooking it
all together is.
My current problem is how to get
all of my machines into the avail-
able space. But I guess we all need
a good challenge once in awhile.
General comment on your maga-
zine – WOW have you ever made
some great changes and improvements. It
is truly a great read, and Canadian!
– Lyn S., Coaldale, AB
• Glad to hear you got a new drill –
you’re going to need it in your new shop.
Regarding your dust collection and space
problems, you definitely aren’t the only
one with those challenges. We’re hearing
the same types of problems from quite a
few of our readers, so watch for upcoming
coverage on ‘Dust Collection Systems’;
and ‘Setting Up Your Shop’.
Missing eNewsletter Photos
I love your eNewsletter! I especially like
all of the links that take you to the manu-
facturers’ websites, and show you their new
tools. The only thing that I don’t like is that
