A little at a time over a long period should do it. 
But, I didn't know that they had cook books for it!!! 
Now I'm worried......Think I'll order delivery for supper.

Don't throw out the baby with the bath water! You can get a 1/2 collet for the router more than likely (you didn't say what router you have) and Bob's your uncle.
Your real problem is yet to come....Learning to use the dove tail jig....I finally gave mine to my brother...never liked either one of them much.

Couldn't agree more! If you can't enjoy life while you are living it, who cares how old you are when you die?

I like the cutting and the thought behind it as well as the thought that you cut into it.
I just have one suggestion. Have you thought about using fabric as a backer? My thought was covering the backer board with a plaid cloth or maybe using some squares from on of her quilting jobs. It would just add something to the whole theme of the cutting.

The Coffee Shop / Pre School

« on: April 26, 2011, 08:03:07 pm »

I just saw on the national news that some people are concerned about states and federal government may cut back on funding pre schools. They project that children will fall behind by twelve months on their education with out the proper funding??
The pre school that they used as an example tought one half day in Spanish and one half day using English??
My questions refer to "Fall behind who or what by twelve months?" Learning is a life time thing as far as i'm concerned.
The second question is "Why are we teaching pre schoolers Spanish along with English? Why not French or Russian or Japanese or why should they be taught anything besides the most common language of this country?"
And my last question is "Why should the American tax payer have to pay for "PRE SCHOOL"? isn't the standard Kindergarten through High School enough? It always has been in the past.

I understand about the silicone being bad for wood finishes but, he did not say automotive wax, he said PASTE wax.
I can't help but think that the salesman was just doing his job, trying to make another sale to a new customer.
I used to be a salesman but, I never used false information to get a sale.
Moreover he should have given a reason for telling a customer something that may or may not be true.

A woman walks into a bar with a duck under her arm. A drunk at the bar looks over and says "Where did you get that pig?" The woman says, "That's not a pig, that is a duck!" Then the drunk responds with "I was talking to the duck!"
