Got a great note from one of my newsletter subscribers - R Rauenhorst. He sent me an email to thank me for putting together the tip on "Reading the Manual". I've included it here in it's entirety.

You are sooo right.  I have now completed two projects nearly perfect.  I am now ready to read the manual again.  One thing I have learned and will do from now on is to take my piece of wood and sand it with my performax sander which will take out some slight imperfects that might cause a problem.  A flat board is as important as having it square.
 
Thank you
R. Rauenhorst

THANK YOU Mr Rauenhorst for sending the nice note AND for including a tip of your own. Letters like this are great to receive and a guy can never get enough of them. I sure do appreciate this sort of stuff - it makes putting this site together very rewarding.
