I've arrived.

[RB]

Today I got a call from the postmaster saying that I had an important package. Since I was in the middle of gluing up some doors he said he'd bring it by. (The advantages and disadvantages of living in a small village.)

He showed up and came into my shop with a big fluorescent orange envelope. It was from the Handyman Club of America. I may never live this one down. All of the residents will now I've made it. I expect to see a blurb in the weekly newspaper just to rub it in.

And to top it off the glue spreader the sent has a bunch of different sized holes it. It'd work better without the holes.

I got mine also but forgot to open it to get the glue spreader. :-(

Don't tell me I'm the only one to get the added extra bonuses of the custom mail return labels, *and* the handy-dandy wire gauge thing?

I have my free Handyman Club of America Member Card proudly displayed in my shop. I tell the woodworking wannabes who stop by my shop that this is the first thing they must do. lol.

My favorite woodworking cartoon had two executives talking about a certain woodworking item they were selling. First one says "No self respecting woodworker would every buy one of these." Second one says "Yeah but we will make a killing on Fathers Day!".

I found a new use for the glue speader. Screw or nail it at a right angle to a piece of scrap. Voila! Instant book end to hold those pesky catalogs in place. triumph! jo4hn

You guys are lucky...all I ever get are carpenter's pencils & plastic drill guages. Joe

[JMWEBER987]

I must really be pathetic. I have never received anything from these people including offers of membership. I'm Pissed Mike in Arkansas

[Joe Tylicki]

I think the drill guage is what they are derisively calling a glue spreader.

Never received the carpenters pencil myself, but I have about a thirty year supply of drill guages stacked underneath my bit boxes.

Those custom mail return labels work really good... After you cut off the logo.

[Mark & Juanita]

Go buy something from Harbor Freight and give them your address. :-)

[For the humor impaired, that was a joke. A joke son, I say a joke]

[rllipham]

You have truely arrived. You can use the address lables to send cancellation notices to all other woodworking journals and other WW sources.

The holes in the spreader are aerodynamic tuning ports that allow high speed gluing without the annoying whistling that can occur. When you get your official members only kit you will find out about that.

Another thing you have to look forward to is the tool testing. You get to keep all the tools.

You got a Unisaw? All I got was the Jet Supersaw. But I did get a screw and nail size gauge so I guess we're even. Ed
