| We've just completed our last homeschool curriculum fair this past weekend. We have enjoyed meeting people from all over the southeast this summer at various shows. A special thanks to all who took the time to come over to our booth and learn more about our book. We truly had a great time getting to know you better. Next year we plan to branch out even more by visiting more cities and offering more products to help teach your kids the age old craft of woodworking. Stay tuned!
Now that the book shows are over for a while I hope to dedicate more time to the website and putting out more videos. We're going to start focusing on stationary power tools. We'll cover setting up those tools, using them properly and safely, and building some jigs to get the most out of them. If you have comments or questions about any of these tools email them to us at contactus@woodworkersresource.com and I'll try to cover the answer in one of the videos.

There's no question that SawStop gets a lot of press. No other table saw has had as much written about it in the past five years. Most of what's written about it surrounds the braking system. The real stumbling block with this saw is the price. At almost...more

| I Have a Favor to Ask
If you have enjoyed watching our video podcasts and have found them informative and maybe even a little entertaining, I have a favor to ask. Many people will go to the iTunes page of a podcast and check the reviews to find out what others are saying about it before they even bother to listen to it. It would help me out if you would take the time to go to iTunes and give a review of our video podcast. I'll make it a very simple process for you. Click on the link below and it will take you directly to the page that our video podcast is on. Underneath the picture and the description of the podcast is a place for you to leave your review. If you use iTunes and haven't subscribed to our video podcast yet, you can do so while you're there as well.
If you don't have iTunes running before you click the link below your computer will probably tell you that you'll need to launch an external application to view the page, meaning iTunes. Just agree and iTunes should launch and bring you to our page.
Thanks so much!

All Hands on Deck! 
In our book, "Woodshop 101 for Kids" is a lesson on building a battleship. In it, I encourage the builder to come up with their own design. Well, I received an email from someone who definately took my advice and made a battleship of their own. Cody and his Dad built a battleship that is simply incredible!
Cody, you did a fantastic job in building your battleship. It looks like it's ready to sail the seven seas. I'm posting all the pictures your parents sent me to show others what a great job you did. Cody's Battleship pictures
If you'd like to learn more about the book that Cody used to build his battleship you can learn more about at, Woodshop 101 for Kids.
|  Here's a way to extend the time between sharpening your saw blades and bits.
After use, a saw blade will develop a coating of what's
refered to as pitch. This pitch will affect the cutting of your blade if not removed. I've read a lot of articles on different ways to remove pitch from blades. To be honest, some of
them scare me, here's why...more | How to Subscribe to a Video Podcast

Mom and Dad were trying to console Suzie...
Mom and Dad were trying to console Susie, whose dog had recently
died.
"You know," Mom said, "it's not your fault that the dog died. He's probably up in heaven right now, having a grand old time with God."
Susie, still crying, said, "What would God want with a dead dog?"
