(Note: Since this is our first "flipbook" I may have to edit the process as I start to put things together. Crossing my fingers!)
FYI: not all photos in the book will be the same size. It all depends on the size of the first picture posted for the project.

Our Memories Flipbook Is Here!

April 1, 2012

I'm excited to announce and to show you our Memories of 2011 Flipbook.

This challenge was indeed a real challenge - first determining what "2011" meant and, next, we each had to select just one project to include in the book. In the end, "2011" was a little flexible and we had a total of 72 LumberJocks' participate. It looks like we might be repeating this challenge again next year.

Below, you will find the link to the online flipbook.

Once people have checked it out and all is well I will be uploading the book to Blurb.com and a printed copy will be available for purchase (at cost).

Well, enough of that …. here is our special memories book.

This week, the prize is Hendrik's first DVD course called "Jointer and Planer Secrets".

"In your opinion, what is your biggest secret to successfully milling four-square lumber?"

I would have to say having sharp tools that you are able to control. You get one flat side trued up and then joint the edge to get a perfect 90 deg. Then use a thickness planer to get it to the right thickness and saw to the correct width.
