Thanks very much for the advice.

I must say everyone has been very helpful to me in this group.

I'll post a photo of my first creation on this group for your viewing pleasure (or maybe that should be amusement!).

Thanks for your advice Stephen.

Maybe carpentry means the same here too. I am that much of a novice! Not looking at to do on-site contruction, but simple elegant items like furniture and toys.

I didn't think about getting a periodical. Will pop out this afternoon and get one I think!

Thanks again.

Funnily enough I am a computer programmer at the moment! Like you, getting bored of staring at a monitor all day. I don't expect to make a living at it, not at the moment anyway. Although, I have a cousin who is an interior designer

Thanks very much for the advice on books and machinery.

It's a good thing YOU'RE taking it this way vs. the OP, Bob. Quick Question:

Got Perspective?

I thought it was humor as well, with just a tip of the hat to Roy.

I do wonder who this "Roy" character is.

But with three injuries today (I'm typing this on the speakerphone again), then who am I to complain!

If you rest your hand on the top of the saw fence, then slide it sideways for a wider rip, then don't leave your fingertip resting in the bottom of the table slot...

I've been using a 3M product, sort of a super glue for cuts. Stops the bleeding, lasts long enough. Little bitty tube.

Otherwise, I have a tweezers (Loupe is in my tool box) and a bandana and a big box of bandaids. Sometimes I just keep the bandaid box right on the bench.
