Weird. I was just in the basement gloating over the Ulmia workbench that I just scored from Craigslist last Saturday. I was thinking, "first thing I need is some good instructions on saw sharpening". Up at the computer, my rss feed show this and in turn, Grimshaw's "Saw Filing". Thanks!

When I have two links (one from MeFi, one from Make) to the same thing in my RSS reader, I know I've struck gold.

This is a terrific collection of links. Perhaps you should also include a link to a first aid site for home handymen who start feeling ambitious after reading the links on power tools. On a serious note, never forget how quickly things can go terribly wrong when using a table saw.

Thank you! I'll wonder how much I'll get done in the shop the rest of this week.

The old-timey nature of the French Polishing book is delightful. I can't wait to go to the paint store and ask for a drachm of alkanet-root, nut-galls, and dragon's blood!
