OK, maybe not a plethora, but a whole bunch, anyway.
From August Home, the Woodsmith publishers.

Thanks, Gene. I think "plethora" definitely covers it!

BPR

thanks, there is plently to look at

Folks,

Be sure you check carefully the tips you get from August Home. I submitted a tip that was published incorrectly, so incorrectly that it just wouldn't work. The publication was never corrected, either. Since it had my name on it I found it quite embarassing, but the main problem is that some people might try it and get messed up because of the tip.

So...........How about telling us what the tip was and how to do it the correct way.

OK, not to be too picky, but a 'plethora' really means an 'over-abundance', and was first used to refer to too much blood. 'Too much blood' together with 'power tools' just never sits right with me. How about a Cornucopea:

1. A goat's horn overflowing with fruit, flowers, and grain, signifying prosperity. Also called horn of plenty.
2. Greek Mythology The horn of the goat that suckled Zeus, which broke off and became filled with fruit. In folklore, it became full of whatever its owner desired.
3. A cone-shaped ornament or receptacle.
4. An overflowing store; an abundance: a cornucopia of employment opportunities.

WWAAAYYYY more pleasant an image than 'too much blood' And, wouldn't you know it, you could make one with wood!
