One, the micro adjustment for the Kreg bandsaw fence was ordered and received the next year. The second item seems to have been long forgotten. Maybe I didn't really need it.
Have fun.

It's the same thing as cutting just a little over or under, nobody really notices
Right?

I haven't had a problem ordering the "specials" from Canada. You can't do it by the internet ordering method or the 1-800 phone no.. But I can do it by phoning the regular no.(I have a no long dist. fee phone plan, so no cost to me anyways). The order desk girls always tell me there is a Canadian distributer to call, but I tell them I prefer to order direct and tell them the reasons why(pricing and most items not stocked at Cdn dist. anyway). They then process and confirm the order and get me the shipping quote. They will only ship USPS to Canada, not FedEx or UPS, so there is a size and weight limit. But it is big enough for anything in the parts/accessories items. They also hold the shipment until all items are ready to ship as they don't absorb the extra postage for multiple back order shipments out of the USA. So, if there is an item backordered for more than a couple of weeks, I just have them delete it from the order so it doesn't hold things up. I am putting together an order now and maybe things won't be as smooth this time, considering that sooooo many items in the web catalog are noted as "backordered or made upon order".

Halloween, mid 60's
D.,
FWIW I spent a memorable Halloween night (ca. 1963) in Portage la Prairie (at the air base). I mean WILD! As the saying goes, "Canadians drink Canada dry - or at least try to, every night".

Hey there, John! It is good to read more of the weekly Blog. This week I finally read where the word 'Blog' came from. It is supposed to be short for WeB LOG. Never could figure that out!
Also, I was a bit perturbed to read your aluminum boat paragraph. Maybe because I'm getting old, but it seems these attitudes of "not having time to be bothered" are more prevalent every year - even with folks that say they volunteer. Sorry, Enough of that!
This past two weeks, I've been engaged in working out details of how to make the "convertible" coffee table that my grandson sketched out. So far, I have cut out the legs and the large panels. Also selected the boards for the top and set them aside for future milling.
In designing, I chose to use similar measurements for the upper parts as the plans in Woodsmith Mag. Grandson gave me a challenge by asking for top drawers that open from the sides, rather than the front. This presents an opportunity to figure out a new way to assemble and glue up, since there will be no side panels, as in the magazine. I'm now figuring out how to make temporary side structures that will be stable enough to allow installation of the upper and lower panels. Assembly of the various parts into the sides seems like the best way to assemble while preserving tenon joints. After that, it should be just cutting and fitting.

This past two weeks, I've been engaged in working out details of how to make the "convertible" coffee table that my grandson sketched out. Without the help of the Sketchup 101 course Tom K/mo offered us I would have been helpless on how to do this. With the course, I was able to draw up a working sketch and e-mail it to Grandson for approval.
