Thanks Andrew and John. I should have enough info to get to the shop teacher. As I am very new at all this, I would prefer if Andrew could let me know what I...
Jim - Looks like a great trip -- those teardrop trailers sure are cute! I have a friend in Redding who's been shopping for one for awhile. As for air...

You know I prefer the side-tank design, even if it is slightly more difficult to build. The two side tanks do so much to strengthen the hull that you can...
I like the idea of giving away t-shirts to the top finishers, but I'm not so thrilled about the whole 'purse' bit. I feel it goes against the spirit of the...
I think "Quizzie <http://tinyurl.com/quizzie>" has more or less become both the mascot and the class emblem for the PDR. Unfortunately I think you'll have to...
Excellent photographs once again! The new commisions look really good (I love Sea Nile). Makes me wish I could've been there. [Non-text portions of this...
Jeff, The band saw has a 12" throat. Drill press is a table top / bench top model. At my work there is a small steel stand that may be going to the scrap pile,...
For all you Oregon-savvy Coots, what's the better route from Portland to Newport / Depoe Bay: OR 99W and 18 through Newberg & McMinnville or I-5 to Corvallis,...
I prefer the former, but for variety will do the latter. One year, on the way home, the boys & I took 101 north to 8 to 26 to Portland. Fun, though time...
We go to Salem and pickup hwy 22 that connects to hwy 18 about 10 miles east of the Spirit Mountain cash withdrawal service. Hwy 22 is a nice drive and we miss...
Having at one time a home in each place simultaneously, I can only say it's a crap shoot if you're going for time. The McMinnville route is often clogged with...
I was in Lincoln City and Depot Bay (actually all the way down to Newport) over spring break weekend. I took 22 and 18 and 101 to get there. The traffic wasn't...
Depends on when it is. I absolutely wouldn't take Hwy 20 to get to Newport when coming from Portland, that's a really long way. If you want to avoid the...
Wow! What a useful tool! Those Lee valley folks sure come up with some neato stuff! Just introduced today? The first day of the fourth month? ;o) ... -- John...
I wondered when that particular penny would drop. Luckily it isn't in their current catalog or my Twin would have ordered two... But wait, there's more --...
Twin, Don't need two. And since Lee Valley has never seen fit to put this particular gem into production... I went ahead and built myself one. Took me approx....
I think you two should build all your owen tools The Woodwright on PBS will teach you how. Jon Being a profesional only means you get paid to do it not that...
Thorne, I've not used an air mattress much untill this trip. Every one agrees they are cold and foam or something else is better. Next time I'm going to use a...
Save gas and just canp in the drive way after all spring still has not arrived in the way they said it would. Then if you get cold you can go in the house. Jon...
