Ah.....seeing those barrels full brought back some STRONG childhood memories Mark!!! I would play for hours / days with pieces like that.

Anyone else have problems throwing 'scrap' pieces away? Is there really such a thing as 'scrap' wood?

Evidently no problem here:rolleyes: . My wood shelves are full of them, even have ceiling tubes full and cardboard boxes also full - so much so, I work around them every day. They only take up about half of my shop:eek: .

My problem is finding uses for them. Presently I've found at least one use and are benefiting from them. Again - the problem is - What to do with the rest of them?

I never have trouble finding uses for them. In fact 10 days ago a brother in law grinned as he located a half dozen choice hardwood specimens that worked for a remodel and repair job we completed. He commented that he was proud of me for moving the large can small pieces all the way to Colorado from Virginia. I consider myself a horder extraordinaire. Jim

[quote="robinson46176"]And where is the tie-bar? Maybe cropped off of the image or did it fall off of the picture when they turned it around? ]
if you are going for the missing tie-bar, then you probably need to note the 5-sided main table.

I don't think that either of those count.

I think the 5 sided table was designed for those of us with larger waist-lines so we can stand closer...

I would assume that the lack of a tie-bar is so you can slide the headstock off and carry it into the house on cold nights.

Well I guess I am no longer tied to the computer. I am typing this and browsing the forum on my new iphone4. It is surprisingly easy to get around and read the posts. My typing needs a little practice though:)

Congrats Roy. Does it view the pictures also?

Yes it does, and they look quite nice. I mean it still isn't as nice as a computer, but it sure beats thumbing through all those old magazines while waiting in the Dr. office! I must add that "The Woodwhisperer" podcast look awesome on it.

I really wasn't sure what would happen when a diehard PC guy bought an Apple product, but the world hasn't ended yet.

I bought it on the advice of a few friends to replace my broken PocketPC, really didn't need another phone (work provides me one). Must say that is causing a little issue with the LOML.

SWEET!! 4G technology = ~DSL / Cable modem connection speeds, correct?
Is the charge reasonable for bandwidth used?
