Happy Ending

Wayne forgot to ...

Bill Ward

>Wayne forgot to add a security eye bolt so that you can chain the plane to the bench or to you. Great job, Wayne!!!

Chris: why don't you bring your planes to the Kansas City Woodworking Show in March. The WoodCentral Breakfast Club (Kansas City Chapter) will even buy breakfast!!

Good Idea!

Roger Nixon

>Breakfast, that is. Not the eyebolt :).

>Chris,

Glad for the happy ending, however, in many cases tools have a sentimental attachment to the owner that can never be replaced. I would be heartbroke to lose any of my late Father's tools, or any of the odds and ends bought for me over the years by my Wife or Daughters, no matter how good or bad the choice of tool was.

Just drill a hang hole

>No bolt is no problem--just drill a hang hole.

>I'm really hapy to hear that things came out OK Chris. Your boss is to be commended. I will admit however, that I and I'm sure a large number of others, are still seriously ...... that something like this would happen in the woodworking community.

My assumption

Christopher Schwarz

>Dave,

After doing these shows for three years I've come to the conclusion that there are larcenous people who work these shows � and they aren't woodworkers. I meet thousands of woodworkers every year at these things and find them to be the most upstanding and honest group of people I've ever met on the whole.

And because my job/mission is to share and communicate I tend to err on the side of openess. Still do.

That's a beauty...

Scott Burr in Ben Lomond CA

>Stash a GPS in it. Just incase this one goes missing.

Re: Wayne forgot to ...

wayne anderson

>Thought about having it engraved:

"Stolen from the bench of Chris Schwarz"

But I decided it would be in really poor taste...even for me!

Barb Siddiqui - Wenatchee, WA

>and how great that Wayne could make you a new one. That theft was very disappointing to all who read about it. Glad the magazine picked up the tab, and I hope you get years of use out of it. Thanks for sharing with us, your 'happy ending.' -Barb S.

Chris, question

Dan Donaldson

>Do you have a higher resolution version of that picture? As Andy mentioned, it would make great wallpaper, but it is a bit small for many screens.

(I run 1280 X 1024) and some are probably higher than that.

Me Too!
