Woodworking can be relaxing and fun for folks of all ages. Contrary to popular opinion (formed after watching "the New Yankee Workshop") this great American passtime isn't reserved for middle-aged white men with lots of spare cash! Dive in and enjoy it!

hoverlover7 asked:

I have several Bessey type woodworking clamps (not the K body) and they have a considerable build up of regular woodworking glue that I would like to get cleaned up. Is there a way to do this by soaking the clamps in something that won’t hurt the clamp?

Jelica asked:

I have never done any woodworking, but I am very interested in learing how to (of course with time) make furniture and other things out of wood. Could someone, please, recommend me a good book (with clear instructions and pictures)? I would really appreciate if you recommended a book that you actually read and used yourself, and you know that it’s a good one. Thank you!
