Menu - WoodShopDemos.com

Note: If you enter this site by a search engine, you may be missing many new projects and reviews.
There is now available a CD-ROM with a PDF file with every page of this website.

Would you believe 3584 pages of How-To and with 16
shop assistants who have made the pages more fun to read.
The PDF file allows you to search for any subject, product or even
a shop assistants name like "Maureen" — 151 pages.
It is available now for $19.95 - US only.

Notice: this menu may look good but it covers about 1/7th of the stories
in this site. I just plain let it get out of date. The CD-ROM PDF file
was the only way to make the large site manageable.
