Well, I *was* paying attention, but then I climbed up to the top shelf to
pull down my copy of the Kelmscott Chaucer- so I could photocopy it for
Cyli, of course- when the whole shelf came down on me! Good thing I had the
edition in my arms, or that shelf would have squished me for certain. Those
sliding dovetails I built it with are strong, but I gotta get it screwed
into the wall better...
I worry more about you disappearing under a mound of one-sided
plane-shavings
Fortunately, the shavings in my shop actually float *up*! :-)
Chuck Vance (BTW, French cleats are really good for attaching
those sorts of things to your wall :-)
Well, they hold up a gadzillion pounds of iron in the shop, guess they'd
hold my copy of the First Folio as well...

you pix forthwith.)
