First Post on the New Dowelmax Blog

For some time now I have been considering creating a blog site where Dowelmax owners can interact with me, make comments and ask questions related to the uses and techniques for the Dowelmax system, and get the latest news on the projects and resources that I'm developing for Dowelmax.

Of equal importance is to be able to freely respond to what I perceive to be misinformation periodically advanced with respect to woodworking as it pertains to the Dowelmax system.

To provide a bit about my background outside of Dowelmax, I'm a retired professional engineer and while this does not directly pertain to Woodworking, it can be invaluable when its use is appropriate.

I have recently had the opportunity to witness a preview of a "comparative strength test" undertaken by Fine Woodworking, and I have some serious issues with the manner and context in which the various tests were undertaken. Once the magazine is released, we will take the liberty of compiling a critique to be published on this blog.
