Question *LINK*

Dan Donaldson

>I am attaching a link to one of the new articles here on WC. I want to stress that nothing was asked in the article, but one of the items on the wish list is a set of angle blocks from Lee Valley. If he has not gotten them yet, I wonder if anyone would be interested in joining me to buy a set and have them sent to him. We could ask for a picture of the first project made using them. Any interest? This is just me and not any kind of "official" Woodcentral effort.

I have been woodworking for about 25 years now, and would consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. My claim to fame (or infamy) has always been fixing stuff. I spent time in the Air Force in the 60's then went to work as an electronic technician for civil service. I finally got my EE, and being fed up with the civil service nonsense, took a job with Ford Motor Company until I went with the split to Visteon last year. I got interested in music and started playing in a bluegrass band. I wanted a new guitar, and that kind of led me into woodworking. I bought some books, a few tools, and built a guitar. Luckily, I didn't know any better than to try that as a first ever project. I still play it when I get a chance, so it must not be too bad if it can live for over 20 years. After a stint in Mexico for my job, I moved into a new house and built a small shop. Since then I have been collecting tools and skills, probably more of the former than the latter ;-). Finding this site has done more for my skills and enjoyment than anything else. I have learned a lot and really enjoy the friendships that I have made here. I have been married to LOML (Lori) for 32 years now and have 6 kids. When they are all gone, I want to get a 1 bedroom house (so there is not room for them to move back in) and at least a 6 car heated/air conditioned garage for a shop. (Dream on...)

I think

>I believe that I have it arranged. Just need to get an address. Will let everyone know when it is finalized. If everything goes right, it will be sent as "Compliments of the Woodcentral Messageboards". This is just a harebrained idea that I had and is not any kind of an official Woodcentral function.
