My wife mentioned that one - cursor for such bad jokes, but on a scale of 1-10 it's not so bad, I can let it slide.

Apparently cabin fever is starting in up there in the far north (at least far for me).

The best (ONLY) cure for cabin fever is to make little ones. .. I mean ... build little ones.

Maybe you were thinking of beaver fever! Can I say that here? I guess we'll find out.

Howdy Gents. Ive been dabeling in the indoor stuff lately so I have had to find a way to hing the small stuff. Trying to cut the hing slot with the slot machine just didnt work. Here is what I came up with. Take a new single eage razor blade and cut it down to the size of the slot the you need for the hinge.Lay a pice of scrap wood that is half the size of the surfaceto be cut and lay the blade on it. now push the blade into the part then flip the part over and do it agin. This will give you a slot that is the thickness of the blade. Keith.

I have a few tools kind of like that lying around the bench - #11 X-acto blades glued to half-thickness shims with a 1/4" square stock grip glued to the top. They work well. But I can't say I`ve tried them on 1/16".
