Best of the week's blogs
 ReWorking a Basket Case Coffee Table - Ron Dudelston talks about his adventure with bringing an old table, that has gone through a metamorphosis before he even got it and Ron took it up another notch! Talk about salvaging a great piece and make it functional.
Adam Welker continues the week's hot topic with A Whole Week Off. Adam tried his hand at making excuses for not getting his rear in gear and finishing up his Roubo Bench! Well, I guess we can let Adam rest up a little after his first series of blogs right!
 Larry Jenkins is back with a vengeance with Glue Spots Showing Through Your Wet Stain. Larry got a lot of mileage from this blog, it went away but came back in a big way, he has scored some new hits with this very informative blog about one of our worse enemies, the glue spot.

 John Morris is talking about his rocker build in Cutting Out Templates for the Rocker follow John on his journey building a Hal Taylor rocker from Hal Taylor's own instructional book set.
Randall Childs notice about the success of the Randall Childs/Charles Neil class to build rockers has retained interest over the last few weeks. 

The above blogs are in order of popularity as our ticker counts the hits!

in focus
   ning-007-43192-79.jpg?height=64&crop=1%3Member Robert Downs is in focus this week for his efforts while contributing to our Challenge Coin Display Build. Robert along with Ron Dudelston and Lew Kauffman have built coin displays for our troops over the last two campaigns we have been involved in. Robert comes through in a big way, and I wanted to thank Robert for his generosity and time building the coin displays for our men and women wounded in war while fighting terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan. We just shipped a big box full of Roberts displays along with Ron's and Lew's to our Wounded Warrior Rep to be handed out at Bethesda Naval Hospital. Robert doesn't say much, but he is always around, and I can always count on Robert for his coin displays. As always Robert, thank you so much sir, and thank you for your service Robert as well. Robert is a vet too.

Cool Tips
Well alright folks!!! We are about to begin our 1000th member drive! We will have a grand prize of 100 dollars in the form of a gift card to Woodcraft Woodworking and Supplies for our 1000th member! And, a $50.00 gift card to WC as well for a lucky member who joined up between the opening date of our membership drive and when the 1000th member signs up. All new members who are not the 1000th member, will still have a chance to win the 50 dollar gift card in a drawing! And, for our existing members, a One Year Subscription to Popular Woodworking for inviting the most guests during our membership drive, and a 10 year DVD set of Popular Woodworking for the runner up who invites the most guests! Stay tuned for our contest rules and guide lines.
 

The Military Challenge Coin Display Campaign No. 2 has been shipped! As noted above in our "IN FOCUS" letter, our displays have been shipped to Bethesda Naval Hospital to be handed out to our Sailors and Marines wounded while serving in the fight against terrorism. These guys will have a bunch of challenge coins to display, and now they will have a place to display them.

Have a great week and be safe and plan your cuts carefully, remember, wood don't stretch!!!
