I have two of those books, the one that came with my shopsmith, 4th Edition. Then I have a old one, written by R.J. DeCristoforo. I looked for a copyright date, but couldn't find one. I remember someone gave that book to me. I didn't realize until today, that is was so different.

This is a really great idea! I wonder if it would be possible for the administrator to create another category? Another idea: is there a way we could conduct this in real time?

I'm on board! Great Idea. Ed! Should be very interesting and informative! I like the Idea of each chapter becomes its own Thread. That way we can reference a chapter, if we have a question at a later date.

Wouldn't hurt to post up the "rules of the road" in front of each chapter:

-Can we keep this on a very basic level for beginners and try to stay on subject and be on our very best behavior??

-Work to stay positive?

-Make believe we can all play nice together?

-We stay AWAY from subjects like other brands of tools, and personal dislikes of a particular Shopsmith tool.... Rather we look at the wood working aspect as shown in the PTWFE and discuss that for what it is.

So my though would be to start at page one and go to the last page with maybe a chapter per week. We all read the chapter and if you have comments post them, if you have questions post them.

-Each chapter would be its own thread.

I'm in. Bought a copy and haven't been able to get to it.

If you want to go live, I do believe Adobe has a facility that's free for now.

What a great way to supplement the information in the book and bring it to life with the accumulated knowledge of this resourceful group.

I'm in. What a creative idea to encourage questions and answers.

When does day one of week one begin?

Me too! PTWFE is such a great resource - this should be great. It will be fun to see participants replicating the techniques in the book. Great idea! Alec

Wonderful,
I can't count how many times I have had questions only to find the answers I already had in the book. I just never could find the time to read it. My reading skills never really came to be. This might just work for me.
