An eloquent reply. The woodworking magazine to which I subscribe and many of those to which I do not subscribe have regular features wherein they compare a half dozen bandsaws, or smoothing planes, panel-raising router bits, etc. Lots of mags for other hobbies do similar things, but they have a subscription base in the tens of thousands providing motive for manufacturers to provide samples freely and revenues for paying writers and testers for weeks of work. When we get there, I'd like to do the equipment tests. ;-) Without meaning to sound lugubrious, I figure I'll be retired from public service by then and looking for something with modest remuneration to pad my meager pension. ;-) sh --- Karen Randall <krandall@rdrcpa.biz> wrote: > Dear Bill, > > Thank you for your input.
