Jack Loganbill, of Jack's Wood'N Things has a gret web page with lot and lots of stuff to read and do. Like me, it appears that Jack has the gift of gab, and his writing shows it. I think that's great! :-) Jack has info on projects he's working on. He has instructions for building your own panel cutting table, a link for free clock faces, and a whole slew of tool reviews that should interest anyone! (It was because of Jack's article on the 24" Leigh Dovetail Jig - of which one I own - that I decided to purchase the Porter Cable Half Blind Dovetail Jig!). Jack also has a nice drawing of his shop layout and a picture of it. You're gonna drool when you see the double table saws and common outfeed table set up!
