Hi Guys,

concerning the person who needs to repair termite damage, there’s a company called RotDoc (www.rotdoc.com) that sells an epoxy specifically designed for repairing dry rotted wood. I discovered them when I was renovating my RV, although I never bought the product, to repair dry rotted frame sections. It may be appropriate in this case, however,

Thanks and keep up the great work,

Pat

A problem I see with increasing local woodworking clubs number is that woodworking is a patient hobby. something you can’t rush through, and kids and even young people like myself have become to use to the idea of instant everything. The Internet puts the world at your fingertips. So if you want something you can just go out there, find it and buy it.

I really think that if you want the younger genrations to take an interest in woodworking We are going to have to step away from the stereotype that only old men in their garages or basements are doing this craft and it all looks old.

We have to AMP it up and show them that they can design their own style and step away from the traditional and do some freeform/funky stuff.

Granted learning the traditional/old way is the best way to learn the techniques and styles, but if you don’t get the young people interested they won’t be willing to learn.

Ok was just wondering if the proble was with my Itune! LOL! There was an Itunes update the other day. Everytime there is one something else in my Itunes stops working properly! Anyone else allways have crazy problems with their Itunes?

Dude! I wish I knew. When I originally posted the file, iTunes pushed it right away. For some reason, it was since pulled OUT of the feed. I am still trying to see if its even something on my end.

Hey Marc and Matt:

Although not specific to building a cabinet, the book HOUSE by Tracy Kidder is really good. Tools-Trim all aspects. You’ll find usable information within an excellent writing style.

Marc-
I was actively involved in AAFW for years. I learned a lot from the guest speakers and from the other members. But, I stopped attending about five or six years ago because their focus seemed to drift toward building toys for charity. I then made contact with “The Splinter Group” and began attending their meetings. They were a much more professional group and had a much broader focus. Unfortunately, my schedule didn’t allow me to continue attending their meetings. (I don’t know if they’re still active).

I just sent for my copy of the Lee Vally Catalog. The one I got last year is just about falling apart. They should make drool proof pages!

Great show!
