>Hey who's this guy who wrote the last Arts and Mysteries column? I just got my December issue of PW. Anybody see it yet? Why no pictures of the grinning author? Where's the "money shot"?
I guess I could try to write for FWW but I don't have any blue cambray shirts and my japanese saws are pretty dusty.

>Hey, just got mine today, and sure enough, no Adam. Well, it looks like a pretty thorough article based on scanning the photos, so it would be stupid and cruel to slam Dean out of loyalty and admiration. Wonder if this is the Dean J who hangs around here from time to time?
Anyhow, if you really didn't know, I'd have to say "I'm sorry, but welcome to Corporate Amerika." I'd also have to say, if this is the case, that I'm disappointed that Chris and company would behave like this. However, if, as I suspect, that you knew and acquiesced and are now trying to introduce the new contributor by getting us all riled up, shame on you.

You must be on the "A" list!

>Had to laugh when I read your tease, Adam!
Was a good article. Dean graciously made me one [meep meep] a couple months ago. I love the design. The lock is so simple and positive. I have a few I am going to make. Another one like mine, a panel gauge using the same locking mechanism but a pencil, and a cutting gauge.
I even have a little Beech laying around to use.
Pam--yep, the same Dean. Pretty cool, huh?
So Adam, speaking of teases, what can you say about your next article?
Take care, Mike

>Actually a bunch of us got together and complained to Christopher about this Adam dude. Didn't he try to show us how to rive 18th century kindling? After the Bosch power tools t-shirt episode, his days were definitely numbered.
Congratulations to Paul. I'm heading off to bed to read his article now.
Hey Mike, you can use the same mechanism on a smaller scale to hold a pencil in the beam.

>Hi Frank--yep. I remember when you made the deep, reach-over gauges. Extremely nice. Mine might be a little more, uh, utilitarian looking. I'm a hack when it comes to making tools.
Take care, Mike
