This is the best way to build almost anything made of wood. I built a coffee table/bookshelf and a split top sawbench, and I''m just getting started. It works like a dream. You do have to keep an eye on the depth limiting collar for the drill bit as it can loosen and move, but that is fairly easy to do. I also recommend using both wood glue and pocket hole screws in order to produce the strongest bonds possible, but the glue is definitely not needed since the pocket hole screws create a bond that is incredibly strong. The pocket hole screws make it so that the clamping for gluing, etc., is not needed after the first few screws are put in.

We have had enormous success with this machine. I purchased it for my husband for Christmas 2009 and not a week (or sometimes a day) goes by without it being used. It took about 4 tries to find the right setting for perfectly crisp and browned waffles. As long as the machine is adequately preheated, each successive waffle turns out the same without having to adjust the temperature. On our machine this is achieved by setting the gauge just below 3.

I've owned this item for a year now, used it maybe 20 times using the instructions/recipes included, and have yet to produce anything remotely edible from it. It consists of a small heating element and a fan that blows the warm air around; there definitely is no "heating the food from the inside out", it barely gets the outside warm. I have to cook items two or more times as long as a conventional oven to heat up food to the point it even registers on a meat thermometer. Complete garbage (which is where this item now resides).

I have read a lot of reviews about Pimsleur; many seem to either passionately love or passionately hate the program. I am neither. I bought the CD's used so didn't get caught up in any of the "scams" I've read about.

I am 45 years old and really out of shape. I find myself thinking I'm 50lbs overweight and I doubt the cast was ever there. However, I have completed 4 weeks and I have lost 11 pounds and several inches. I am still struggling to do it like the pros but I have improved significantly. Also the first day I was a clock watcher. After 1 minute and 13 seconds I was ready to quit. Now I am making it about 20 minutes before that though comes to mind. Also, my recovery time has become minimal. One of the best things for me is that I typically do not feel the lasting pains after a workout like I have on other programs. Its tough on a big boy but I do believe it is beneficial.
