Heh, I get that a lot.

Yo,
I kept my copy in the bathroom too! I even used a piece of toilet paper as my bookmark. hehehe .

Just wanted to say that I never thought I would be thoroughly absorbed in a technical book. Learning is sooo much more fun when it is not in school.

Oh yeah, and my wife wants to say @$^%*&*(%@*$!!! to you for making me spend my money on an arcade machine. ;D

Well there is at least one wife in the whole universe who appreciates and bought your book Saint  ;D .....well in reality there is at least two wives who like your book (my conclusion after reading the acknowledgements section ;)) . Maybe we should take a poll of how many wives are out there who like saints book. I am sure there are more than two.

By the way my guess on the book sales is maybe about 20,000

I couldnt have built my cabinet without the book... sure there is lots of stuff online and this forum is such a big help but we dont have the internet in the garage yet  ;) so until then this book is a much easier option... As for the verdict on the effectiveness of the book, combined with my woodworking skills.... is that my hubby's friends are green with envy  :P  when they play our very own cabinet in our games room

I joined because I bought this book, I had been floating past the website on and off for a year or so then I spotted the book in my local book retailers. Who can resist a book with "Blip, Blip, BLAM" on the cover? :D an excellent read, however I suspect it will cost me more in the long run than just the cover price.... ;)

You built a cabinet for your husband? (and you too, of course!)  ;D

That's beautiful...I think I'm going to cry  :'(

I'm going to make my wife read this, and tell her that this hobby is an equal opportunity offender!

For everyone that hasn't purchased a copy, I noticed Fry's in the Bay Area, CA has it as a FEATURED SPECIAL this weekend!

Nice work, Saint!

I just bought a copy.  I can't wait for it to get here.  I didn't know that Saint wrote it until I found this forum.
