Q & A: How do I update the Software on a Mac
Found this question on the forum and I posted a response. You might find it useful.
Question:---------------------------
I'm running on a Apple Mac powerbook and I'm having trouble updating the Carvewright designer software. When I click on the link, it takes me to the Mail application. What is going on here?
Answer:------------------
First off, let's make sure that you are taking the proper steps to do the upgrade.
With the Carvewright designer software open, go up to the HELP menu and select "Check for Updates..."
This is the preferred way to go about updating your software. However, the person asking the question did not get this result. The Mail application opened up instead of a web browser.
What is happening here is the wrong application is defined as being the default program to use for clicking on weblinks.
Fix this by starting Safari and going up to the SAFARI menu and selecting "Preferences..." when the dialog box opens, select the "General" tab. Use the drop-down menu and select Safari as the Default web browser. Close the window and restart the Carvewright design software.

Now when you select "Check for Updates..." from the HELP menu, you should be taken to the proper update page.

Merry Christmas

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
It's a bit odd to be planting a garden and decorating for the holiday in the same day... Guess there will be lots of things to get accustomed to here in the deserts of California.

Found A New Tool

I was up late last night and happened to see a new tool in use. I am very impressed - to the point that I'm going to be getting one of these myself.
I reworked the front page of this site to show you guys what this thing is all about. I even found the video demonstration online and posted that too.
Do watch this and I think you will agree that no man should go without this workshop helper.

Made the Move

Got myself sitting in the warm sunshine of Palm Springs. Still lots of stuff to do before I can consider myself settled in but at least the big drive is over.
Now to get a permanent home established and I can continue my work with this favored hobby of mine.

I've never been one to hold back on what I have on my mind. Here is a place where I speak about all things woodworking.
