re: Helping Amateurs Cultivate Professional Habits

This pretty much sounds like you’ve been spying on me! (although I do have some pretty rinky-dink tools). I realize that is no excuse because Shipwright admits to having Harbor Freight tools and just look what he can do!

I try to get too many parts from a rough board – accepting marginal ends and edges within my project
I can especially relate to that statement. All too often I use questionable materials, too, rather than sorting through our lumber pile to find a better board. I don’t like to waste anything!
