Why are we late? Recently the crew of This Old Workshop have gotten involved in what we believe is a wonderful calling. A new organization called Woodworkers United For America. Woodworkers gathering together to help ease the tragedy of 9/11. Lance is working with promotions and Daniel is the Art Director for the organization. We have spend many hours and long nights launching this project, and the November eZine paid the price. Check out the Woodworkers United For America site and see if you can help.

A look at what to do in case of a shop-related accident
Despite all of the safety gear and equipment that comes with our shop tools and our own good intentions, shop accidents do occur. The Center for Disease Control and the National Center For Injury Prevention and Control both list unintentional injuries as the highest cause of death in both the 15-24 year age group and the second leading cause of death in the 35-44 year age group. Not all of these accidents are shop-related, of course, but serious injury is an important aspect of woodworking and is worth mentioning. Read the whole story

This Month's "Cool Tool"
Bessey K-Body Clamps.
"The right tool for the right job."
I have heard it a thousand times at least and so have you. One can never have enough clamps in the old workshop. I can tell you this for sure: I never throw away a clamp. When I first started woodworking, I went in for the cheapest clamps. I could be found making wedge clamps and inner tubes for strap clamps. I soon evolved to Chinese Pipe clamps and they filled the rack. High quality pipe clamps followed these. Then one day, I was given a gift certificate to Home Depot.
