The new arrangement gives me a lot more options and better use of the screen, I prefer my links to have a bit more data, but have not gotten around to figuring out how to fix it yet. Currently you have to hover over a link to get a bit more information. Having the name alone, does not give enough data to help those looking for their particular interests, to find what they are looking for. My old configuration had issues with some anti-spam protocols so I was motivated to make the change. When I saw the Lorax on the bottom left of http://tomfidgen.blogspot.com/ , Tom Fidgen's blog, It was obvious that he had put the perfect symbol for thoughtful woodworking on his page. Now I want to belong to the Truffla Trust, the organization that encourages responsible wood harvesting. Sadly it does not yet exist as far as I know.

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:38:16 +0000 http://toolmakingart.com/?p=976#comment-441 A very different look to your site Bob, very different - but I like it! I really enjoyed your comment on the "Denial Crock of the Week" site that refuted the previous negative comment quite well. I can't think of a thing or a reference you left unsaid there. What a jerk that guy is! And the link to the truffla wood/Lorax story is a winner. A very good woodworking reference to your main theme here. As you well know, I am a great believer in harvesting local urban timber, particularly trees that would otherwise go to the chipper, burn pile or landfill. I am looking forward to my cedar project, and expect to work on some mesquite after that. And also utilizing previously used lumber, cleaning out the nails and knots, and gluing up the pieces into a stabilized lumber assembly. I am currently taking some white oak old pallet boards and riving them into handle blanks for chisels. Maybe it's time for a "Harvesting Urban Timber" article???
