Q&A:

What are good Gifts that can be made quickly?

The Garage Woodworker: why is it better to forge a hole rather than drill it. I love alec's vids but half the time my ignorance is like why not just drill a hole rather hammer a bit to cut through it.

Joke of the week

I wanted to make sure I remembered everything about my time as a lumberjack, so I kept a log.

I don’t trust those trees! Why Not? They just seem Shady!
