Big Changes in the Works!
This issue kicks off the fall eZine schedule, so get ready: there will be some great new things coming down the pike. Don’t worry, you’ll still receive the best woodworking eZine on the Net. And your favorite departments and stories will be included. We’ll just have a few new opportunities for you.
For example, in the next week you’ll be getting a separate email from me asking if you’d like to join our online survey group. It will, of course, be free … but if you join, you’ll get the chance to win cool tools and woodworking supplies just for answering questions about woodworking related topics. And there will be no strings attached. If you don’t want to join, that is cool. If you do want to join, you’ll have to answer 15 demographic questions and then just sit back and wait for email surveys to be sent to you. Your opinions will help us publish a better magazine and will help toolmakers get feedback on their tools and supplies. And did I mention that you might win some stuff?
So look sharp and get ready for a fall woodworking season that will knock your socks off. (For those of you who are wearing socks when you read the eZine!)

Unfortunately, the mortise-tenon joint nearest the lockset has opened a gap of about 1/8 inch between the rail and the style. In addition to looking bad, this makes the door hard to close.
