THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTER THAT I GET.
Welcome to the November, 2007 issue of the Sawdust Making 101 Newsletter.
Of all the items made in the shop for Christmas gifts, cutting boards have to be one of the most popular, they are a great way to use up scrap wood and best of all people appreciate getting them. Bench Notes has some information on them as well as patterns for them.
benchnotes.com/Cutting%20Boards%20folder/cutting_boards.htm
What has become a traditional gift around here is my wife's Eggnog bread on a custom made cutting board. Wrapped in cello with a fancy bow it makes an impressive gift, recipe is here:

Do-It-101.com's Christmas Crafts page has some interesting items on it, there are downloadable stencils here that you can use to decorate your projects:
doit101.com/Crafts/Christmascrafts.html#traditions
I have added a page on making wooden knobs for jigs to Sawdust Making 101:
sawdustmaking.com/WoodKnob/woodknob.htm
White Mountain Design has a great page that goes into much detail on using shooting boards:
www.whitemountdesign.com/ShootingBoard.htm
If you are looking for some interesting reading in your spare time "The Craftsman" issues from October 1901 to December 1916 are available here:
digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/DLDecArts/DLDecArts-idx?type=browse&scope=DLDECARTS.HOMEDESIGN
There is a video on YouTube titled "Woodworking in the 18th Century", shows a two man lathe, one guy does the turning on the lathe another guy turns a large wheel to drive it.
