Over the years, I have heard a lot of funny pronunciations of that native american word. Advertisers really enjoy the heck out of it!

Two of the books I order from Half.com, arrived today. They must have shipped them two day express.

But, I still don't have any of the items I ordered from SS. The conical sanding disc set, shipped the 29th. If you count the day it shipped, that's 12 days. I also ordered "adjustable stop collar, dado insert, and the 5' extension. Well, maybe something will show up Monday.

Saw this plug for Nick's Woodworking Wisdom series on another forum:

Very complimentary! I don't have any of the Woodworking Wisdom books, but I do have several of the Workshop Companion books and I have certainly found them very educational and useful.

You may not be getting royalties any more, Nick, but your name is out there and I haven't seen or heard anything negative - so, I guess the only solution is for you to write another series of books!!:D

I just received "Woodworking Wisdom" this week from half.com. Now I know everything there is to know about woodworking.....yeah right.

Hey Nick, how about a "Woodworking Wisdom on the Shopsmith"? No hurry, in the next couple of weeks will be fine.

Well, my last green Workshop Companion arrived a couple of days ago. I now have all 20 volumes and an index. I believe that's all of them. In my efforts, I also have 6 of the earlier series in addition to Woodworking Wisdom, and some others. I wasn't aware there was an earlier Workshop Companion series. It took a while, but I found them all. all but the last three cost me 75 cents plus shipping. The surprising thing though is the books are in new or near new condition.

Now I have to read them.
