Last week I went to the Woodworking in the Eighteenth Century annual session in
Williamsburg.  They handed out a free copy of the latest FWW to each of us.  I
stopped my subscription about 10 years ago now because of repitition.  This
issue had a 5 page article on making your own wooden spokeshave, something that
the 3 makers of blades that I know of take anly 2 or 3 pages to tell, and that
have been out there for up to 20 years now when you buy a blade.  Always one or
two little things you learn,  but hard to remember all that stuff at the time
you need it.

How many times have you been doing something in the shop, developed a method to
do it, did it, then remembered that specialized tool that you bought just for
that job - DOH!
