A good article by a friend of mine: https://www.finewoodworking.com/2020/05/13/fair-enough I remember many years ago reading a comment by someone else about competing with the "hobbyist" for products. The comment was that someone who did not have a grasp on time, material, overhead and profit just produced stuff "for fun." The result was an excess of product to be gotten rid of at any price. I've also heard many times about people who "just want to cover their material and save a little for a new tool some day," who really have no idea of the the costs that go into making a product for sale.

Guys, I have been asked to build a set of swinging garage doors. They will be painted so besides something like cedar or white oak, what choices of lumber would hold up better/best. Of course MONEY is a deterrent, but the opening is a custom size and won't fit a standard door. The existing doors were just glued and nailed from the back, I'm thinking of doing tongue and groove between the boards before glue and adding the bracing?? Thanks for any input.

My wife made this stool. I made the wooden base and turned the legs. It is made of layer of foam glued together and batting. Of course she made the cover and I think she did a beautiful job.

Here is the first pen I have made from the surf gel blank. It was very hard and brittle but turned out well. Comments and such welcome.
