You ARE at the right place – A new look

April 11, 2008 By

You ARE here! It IS the same place, just a different look.

I decided to change the look-and-feel of the site. I did a little work, and spent some time revamping the site. I wanted a way to make reading my blog content more seamless, and hopefully this new look accomplishes that.

Let me know how much you like it. As always, I appreciate the time you spend here, and your help in supporting my work.

Thanks for dropping in!

Edit to add: Several people have already asked me about the image on the header. That is the shop on the left; our granddaughters love the little playground area on the right. We love the setting!

I have new sponsors!

April 6, 2008 By

I have two new sponsors: Leigh Industries, and Sommerfeld Tools for Wood. This is exciting news for all my fellow woodworkers, as some new things are in the works.

Leigh makes the D4R, the D1600, and the Super Jigs dovetail jigs (12″, 18″, and 24″ widths), plus many templates, accessories, and attachments; and Leigh also makes the FMT Frame Mortise & Tenon jig.

Sommerfeld makes premium router bits, a router table and fence, cabinetmaking equipment, and also distributes other woodworking equipment such as Triton routers, etc.

I have been a customer of Leigh and Sommerfeld for a long time, and certainly before I started this blog. I will never take on a sponsor without knowing their products, using them, and backing them 100%. I stand behind the Leigh and Sommerfeld products.

In the future I will announce a new monthly contest, in partnership with Sommerfeld Tools. Marc Sommerfeld is very excited about this new venture; I know it will also be exciting to all of you. As soon as the new Sommerfeld web site is up and running 100%, we will announce the details.

If you get a chance, and you are not familiar with either Leigh or Sommerfeld, set aside some time and take a look to what my new sponsors have to offer. I provide below their respective logos, linked to their home page.

Note: In the interest of full disclosure, I want everyone to know that Leigh and Sommerfeld are the only two sponsors I currently have. I am an Affiliate member of Woodcraft, Rockler, and Amazon.com (the Sandal Woods Store).
