Beginning woodwork

David Blizzard. Did some TV series in the '80s, a decade that wasn't noted for prime woodworking. There are a number of tie-in books which sold well at the time, are now out of print, but show up regularly as S/H.

It's not bad stuff, and if you see a toy in there that you particularly like, it wouldn't be a bad thing to make. The techniques though are pretty dull - straight-line cuts through plywood, screwed together softwood. You might make the kids something they love, but you won't learn much woodworking from it.

I use real super glue.

Oh don't do that, it causes liver damage!

I've stopped doing that since I researched the health hazards of it. Now I've got some of the real medical stuff (it's not quite the same).

You might want to google "cyanoacrylate surgical adhesive". There's a lot of information out there--turns out that there are good reasons that special formulations were developed for medical use.

Yours is better stocked than mine. Mine is in fact a pull-out medicine cabinet from a bathroom remodel. Includes a mirror in case I need to check how badly my head is cut, or worst yet, my hair falls out of place. As for content suggestions, a feminine sanitary napkin is good for slapping on a bad cut to stem bleeding until a real bandage, or professional attention, can be managed. They are sterile and very absorbent.

I would not advise using super glue. It may have an arsenic compound. Too much info here, but the mortician said he had to super glue my mother's body to seal up all the holes from the needles removed at the hospital.

What's so bad about cyanide ? As deadly poisons go, it's pretty benign. You don't accumulate it, it doesn't have side-effects unless you receive enough of it to cause anoxia.

Thanks all, I'll check that out!

All superglue, including the surgical varieties, is cyanoacrylate based. Cyanoacrylate is not cyanide.

heh heh heh... bourbon and cigarettes.

And the "trauma dressings" we carry on the ambulance are nearly exactly the same thing.
