FOR INFO
Welcome to the August, 2008 issue of the Sawdust Making 101 Newsletter.
The story of Ezra Byron, a woodworker, from 1759 to 1778, is told by an acccount book a lady found in 1999 concealed in a drawer of a Victorian bureau. During that time he made 414 chairs, 53 chests of drawers and 80 tables as well as many other items from cradles to coffins:

Jerry, a member of the Wooodworking.com forum, has links to .pdf files of several pamphlets written by Joseph Moxon in the late 1600's on his site:

There are many companies recycling products, Urban Hardwoods in Seattle has taken this up a notch by using material that would otherwise be discarded and turning them into some pretty unique furniture:

Joe Lyddon at the North Carolina Woodworker site has built some skis for his router, great idea to idea to level off a small table top or whatever:

Run out of ideas and want to browse through some plans, you will find hundreds of them that cost you nothing at Absolutely Free Plans:
absolutelyfreeplans.com
For other craft ideas visit Do-It-101.com, a do-it-yourself index to just about anything:

In closing I would like to remind you to work safely and remember:
"If it doesn't feel good, don't do it."
