Wouldn’t it be great if you could build a project without using clamps or waiting for glue to dry? How about assembling strong joints in a fraction of the time it takes to cut tenons and mortises? That’s what you get when you use pocket screws, and if you haven’t given them a chan...

Every year during Safety Week, I like to spread the love a little and share links from my fellow bloggers and podcasters. Last week, I was quite distracted with website trouble so here’s a quick list of links that were brought to my attention. If you have a blog and you wrote a safety-related...
