Q: Sliding Windows
I want to add some sliding glass (Windows) to my deck, so I don’t get wet when I am using the cap stove. I have a bunch of tempered glass panes from somebody’s sun porch. How do we install them so that they slide? What do I need to buy/make (as in “get Rick to build”?)
Wondering: 2018 exchange?

Tips: Cutting Boards
At this time, we have our Quarterly Awards and the subject is “cutting boards”. What are your tips re: making a cutting board?
Burls
I have a friend who own a little wooded area and he has found a cherry tree with a burl that is about 3’ in diameter. His question to me was: “Now what?” (He’d love to turn something and he also wonders if he can cut it into smaller pieces) What are your tips and suggestions for getting/preparing/using the burl?
Dear Santa...
Dear Santa, I hope you and your family are doing well. (Say “hi”, for me, to Ms. Claus and the elves) I have tried my best to be good this year. I have been doing lots of woodworking and, after you’ve taken care of all the boys and girls, I was wondering if maybe, I could find the following under my tree this year (see below). Merry Christmas
any tips?
someone has asked us to make a beer-glass-tray (10.5″ × 5.5″), that looks like a cutting board with a handle… they want 6 holes cut into the wood to hold the glasses. I started thinking that the wood, perhaps, should be a laminate so keep it from breaking when the glasses are full…. thoughts? (and add a handle at the one end).
TIPS: Fixing A Mistake
What are your tips/strategies and questions about fixing a mistake? Yes, that all depends — but there must be some standard “do’s” and “don’t do’s”.
