Gee Dick, why turn off a lot of potential good input by putting up a wall
between carpenters and woodworkers??  I consider myself a carpenter/woodworker
and feel strongly that woodworking most certainly evolved from basic carpentry.

I truely enjoy both carpentry and woodworking and find that many times the
two overlap more than one might expect.  It's too bad this newsgroup couldn't
accomodate both. .  .   .    .           .
