1. In A small shop such as mine, this book is great.



2. For some woodworkers, the shop is just a place to get the work done. For others, it requires as much planning and consideration as the work itself. No matter how simple or sophisticated the place where you do your woodworking, you're sure to find some new ideas on shop setup in this collection of 41 articles from Fine Woodworking magazine. Included here are discussions of floor layouts, plans for building and improving workbenches, suggestions on storing tools, methods of clamping and holding work and tips on controlling dust and keeping your shop safe.

1. This book provides a lot of good information on how to market a woodworking business. The steps are clear and doable for most people. The advice is based on the author's experience with advising woodworking business and seems sound. At times the author seem to be a bit ridgid in his stance, stating you must do this professionally or it will harm your business. While this may be true, some of the items could be shortcut. Instead of finding a professional photographer, find someone skilled at taking pictures of your work or do it yourself. With all the computer programs around, you can do printing of your own business cards, letterhead, etc. and still appear professional.
   Overall, I found this a good book to read for starting my woodworking business.

1. Another view of Jewishness is seen in this rich compendium of evocative Jewish poetry by modern masters of the craft as each page unfolds its richness of language with its own beauty and revealing emotional intensity. THE VOICES WITHIN THE ARK is edited by Howard Schwartz and Anthony Rudoph. It includes poets of the American scene and across the world as well. The general introduction provides a very necessary key to the enjoyment of this collection. END
