This weeks free episode has Norm using his Shopsmith three times. It was interesting to see an old episode where he didn't have all the expensive tools.

Other than the three routers, his set up was pretty simple on that one. I would have used a push stick/featherboard on a couple of those cuts.

This weeks episode he builds a workbench and uses the Shopsmith. It's also available on YouTube.

Anyone notice that someone at NYW doesn't know the difference between " vice" and "vise"?

Workbench #102:

A good workshop begins with a well-equipped workbench, and master woodworker Norm uses one from his own shop as a model for the conveniently-sized and affordable workbench he builds in this episode. After a look at a workbench used 100 years ago by the craftsmen at Hancock Shaker Village in western Massachusetts, Norm builds a workbench featuring an oak-edged hardwood top, a bench vice, a recessed tool storage area on top and a shelf beneath.

Another of the indications of the lack of education that is plaguing our country right now through our public schools.

Vice/Vise along with than/then There/their etc etc. My mother was a teacher for 30 years, she is rolling over in her grave ...

Add to the fact that we can't spell, our children are no longer being taught the times tables, are only spending a few days on fractions and now there is talk of stopping the teaching of cursive writing. But they are being carefully counseled on their rights, how to sue, and what the government owes them.

I agree that a lot of people can't spell. The rely on spell checkers and don't proof read the copy before publishing it. Besides that they were never taught how to spell in school. Vise and vice will both be found in the spell checker so if you don't proof read or don't know the difference you will not know.

Given that, I don't touch type. The C and S are close together on the keyboard. So was it a mistype or a lack of knowing how to spell?

I can excuse an accidental spelling error, however I see many "professional" documents that are full of spelling and grammar errors. I cringe when I think that our young people are inheriting the world with so little basic knowledge.

I won't speak for everyone, but to me this example is just another indication of the sloppy and unprofessional workmanship that seems to be so prevalent. Precision and accuracy are the foundation of a good job, I don't care what you do ..... we are seeing less and less precision and accuracy in every thing ... it is disturbing.

Sheesh all this consternation over vise/vice.

Would color/colour or molding/moulding . . . create the same?


Realize folks that different 'GPS' locations have colloquial spellings(British/American) for instance).

And our neighbors at a greater latitude tend to use the British versions.




P.S. I agree with the comments re 'education' direction(floundering?). Making change mentally is a disappearing attribute. I know of members of my generation that cannot do that. Get into a discussion with a clerk re incorrect change that cannot mentally understand how. Then there are those who do not understand %(sales tax fer instance) or multiple discounts.(A 20% discount and a 50% discount is not a 70% discount, but rather a 60% one).







Do not accuse one of ignorance while exposing thine own.
