Weekly Editorial

  • Know Thyself

    To my dismay, I was looking at my garage this last weekend. To the best of my recollection, it has never held one of my cars.

  • Showing the Way to New Tools

    I just flew in from Las Vegas, and are my arms tired! (Bu-dum-bump!) But seriously, folks, I did just spend the lion’s share of last week at the AWFS big woodworking show in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Note to show organizers: if you are going to have a trade show in July, try Vancouver – not Las Vegas!)

  • Pocket-holing the Benefits

    Maybe it is the commonality of our Midwestern roots, or perhaps it is just chance, but I have always really enjoyed the folks at Kreg Tools, both professionally and personally.

  • Woodworkers Are Frugal

    There are many common bonds between woodworkers: the familial connection of those who understand the essence of creativity and hard work; the knowledge of wood characteristics and the application of that knowledge; the desire to share techniques learned through years of experience.

  • Summer Countdown

    I’ve said it before — and I have no compunction about saying it again: I want the eZine to be fun. Plus…well, maybe I haven’t said this before, but I think you’ve figured it out: I occasionally need to be a bit goofy.

  • Good To Meet You

    Last weekend the Woodworker’s Journal participated in the Minnesota Woodworking Show. It was a great time. I got to meet many of the eZine (and print magazine) readers, who were very kind in their comments.

  • There’s No Business Like…

    Rob invites the eZine readers to stop by and visit at the Woodworker’s Journal booth in the 2005 Minnesota Woodworking Show.

  • Once More into the (Knee) Breeches

    A buddy of mine flew into town from Beaumont, Texas, just in time for the first of May. Of course when he got into Minneapolis it was snowing, but while he found that remarkable … we did not.

  • Fools of a Feather

    Without a doubt, our April Fool’s eZine created the highest level of feedback in our five years of online publishing.

  • Oops, I Sent It Again!

    Irony can be a bittersweet experience. Last issue I extended a call for shop goof-up stories. (You will see a compilation of the best and goofiest next eZine.)
