Are you insane?

Brent Langdon, Sterling VA

>I have asked this same question to myself. The latest addition to my family is due any day now and it is only my third (and likely my last). How do you find time to develop your woodworking skills? You must have one terrific wife!

Congratulations!!

drawers, beds, chairs.....

Rob Cosman

>I have a never ending list of furniture to make, lots of practise, our first slept in a drawer for the first month, good solid corners mind you. Actually we have a ball, last spring we all went on a 7 day cruise, we drive (50 hours) to Calgary each summer where I teach workshops while they vacation. The kids are each others best friends so each day is like a party and every night a sleep over! Never dull.

Actually, I'd be pushing "Arlo", if it weren't for that pesky criterion #1.

You just can`t go wrong with Bob.I`m going to use this line if I ever run for office.;^)

Heather A. - Anchorage, Alaska

>That reminds me of my husband. His mother wanted a simple name because one of her other children had a very difficult time learning to spell his name. She named my husband Don. He was dyslexic and spelled it Nod. Oh well.

Heather, hoping her hubby doesn't read what I just told the world.
