Tips Rules

Please read and follow these guidelines before submitting your tips:

  • Please stay on topic related to the original tip submitted.
  • Please do not submit another tip within the same tip topic that was created by another member.
  • Please do not get into the back n forth, regarding how you would've performed the same operation, in other words please stay away from, "what you should of done", "what I would have done", "here is my method" etc etc. It defeats the purpose of individual tips created by each unique woodworker.
