I want to give you 'Go fever'

In some circles, high technology is a term that they use if engineers to quickly to move to start a project. 'Go fever' and are willing to overlook the terrible mistake to launch a product.

If teaching woodworking - especially casework - I find that most students down their protective netting take must dip in cow's blood, some suggestive mosquito mating learn dances and contract a severe case of "go fever."

This adds at the bottom of the case work must not look as she stepped out of a catalog by Thomas Moser. You must match. Today is.

I know that sounds like I'm saying: be sloppy. I am not. Most wood workers are far better than they themselves credit. They have worked very hard to cut and pare on a line to learn, but they have no idea when the joint really together. So pare and excitement and evaluate and test and think.

And most of the time the joint is already great. (And fussing with it will probably get worse.)

There are many times in woodworking, where the less you fuss, the better with a joint or edge of a Board be.

So, before you with a joint mess, see if it fits. Before you set a font, to see whether it looks as well.

Trust your gut. And your mallet.
