Hi, I just started with these woodworking newsgroups and they are of
interest to me. I'm currently a student taking woodworking in college. And
I would love to offer my knowledge as best I can. so if you have any
questions feel free to ask. I have about one years experience in woodworking
so far and I know that doesn't seem like a lot but I've learned so much.

I have a general question about wood:

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a
woodchuck could chuck wood.

Ooops, sorry, I'm not the OP that this question was posed to.

A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a
woodchuck could chuck wood.


.... and it takes about twenty years experience to learn that and you still

Well, yes. I've discovered that my ignorance is growing rapidly and without
bound. At the current rate, in a few years I'll have advanced to the point
where I know nothing at all... d-:

There is an authoritative USENET answer for this question, available from the
USENET Oracle.

Inquire of the Oracle via e-mail at . Proceed at your

If I remember correctly, it depends a lot on the size of the chuck key..

If you've been lurking you know that there is a great deal of knowledge
in the newsgroup that is being shared. Welcome to the pool--dive in

Have you ever made any rail and stile cabinet doors with glass as the
panel, and fake muntins, creating a divided light look? How might you
attach the pane to the doors for easy replacement when and if they
break? Thanks. Tom

No, I'd make real muntins for separate lights...but, I'd use a small
quarter mould to hold the glass, fastened w/ brads

just 'til the glue dries...

For the situation you describe, yes. One would presume that the number
of times one will need to replace a pane would be limited so that
removing brads will be a relatively rare occerrence.

I hear ya', brother...

Good luck, I think it well may be easier and it'll definitely look
better.

BTW, make a piece wide enough for four muntins (including waste) and cut
to length. Make end cope cuts first, then mould the outside edges. Now
rip the two outer ones off and mould the final edge. Repeat as many
times as needed...

You have one year in woodworking and you are here to offer your knowledge to
us?! I have done woodworking for thirty years and still don't have the balls
to make that offer!
I think you need to sit back read the group and relax, some of the old
timers around here may teach you a thing or two. Share what you can, but the
combined knowledge here is mind boggling!
For example check this site out!

If you really want to grant yourself some kind of authority on the basis of
balls, you need to get a pair of bull balls!!

These are the balls of real men!

Why not?

It's entirely possible that someone who's been 'dorking for a year
would have learned something I don't know.

OTOH, if the OP wants to be a regular on the wreck this is a perfect
trial by fire.

Sr. Mary Benzedrine, Saint Agnes School, Grade Five. c. 1960.



Seriously though, I remember when I first discovered that I had a 'new
member' and sought to show it off in roughly the same way.



BTW - A survey was done of this NG awhile back and found that the
average age was in the fifties and the average number of years
experience in wooddorking was about twenty something, if I recall
correctly.


Good luck with your new member! g

Voluntary surveys have no reliability...

Dave, do you remember the link to that survey?

I'll admit to its lack of empirical credentials but it was sorta
interesting.

My bestest teacher ever was Miss Hankins, Trinity Cathedral School,
Grade Two, Little Rock, AR, ca. 1960. It was my only year of religious
school and I don't recall if she was a Sister or not. I just loved
her. (Oh, right. She couldn't have been a nun, huh?

right. I've adjusted it as best I could, but it's still off.

Any advice?

But it's a *cast* *iron* Henweigh. Gotta be 8-10 lbs., easy.

I'll try to help but first I need to know what a henweigh is. I tried
finding something about it on the internet but to no end. I figure it's
some kind of hand tool. Would it be a plane by any chance. Could you
describe it for me I may be able to find something similar on the internet
and give an answer.

Others have answered, and I hope you forgive me for pulling your leg.

It was meant as an initiation, as the older ones welcome the younger
ones. At this point I'd shake your hand, pat you on the back, and buy
you a beer. Welcome to the wreck. I hope you have a sense of humor,
and use it frequently.

Just be careful if someone asks you for a left handed monkey wrench.
