    April, you are so talented! You have inspired so many women to just get up and do what makes them happy. Woodworking isn't just for men. I get stuck worrying that no one will like what I make, but it's not about what others think. it's about enjoying what you are doing.
    LOVE RESPECT KINDNESS ONLY MATTERS! Spread IT!

    Hey April love the eraser trick with the tape, I gotta try it sometime... But a cool tip I like to use the most and is most convenient is the roll of tape itself, just use the whole roll to slide across the edge thats taped.. It usually works out everytime and is quick , easy and already in ur hand or near by.

    It's pretty cool how the use of epoxy has saved so many pieces of wood from the fire. A lot of the slices with critter-holes etc wouldn't have been used before but, with epoxy being in common use now, these bits are being used in decorative projects. A win/win. 😁✔👍

    I love your video's But (there is always a but) on your second shelf from the top down the one edge has a sharp point that could be a problem if someone walks through the door and turns. I know it might seem minor but after a lifetime of building stores, I am always on the lookout for these types of concerns. Please do not take this as criticism, but just trying to pass along things I have learned for the past. Another great video!

    Those shelves are beautiful. It's funny, though, how old things become new again. That portable drill press (in a MUCH earlier and far more basic model) was an 'as seen on TV' product in the late 70s. I owned one and it did most of the same things yours did and I believe it was 'only $19.95'. But wait - there's more! I owned one and it was an extremely handy tool, especially when you had to drill a hole in round stock. It was fun to see the concept evolve into the next century.

    Using a small sharp block plane to knock down the bulk of the epoxy is a good way to speed up the process of sanding. I have a low angle Veritas block plane that works beautifully for it.
