Wonderful blog! I saw it at Bing and I must say that entries are well thought of. I will be coming back to see more posts soon.
Very informative! Thanks!
We purchased this book as a reference for building a small wood kiln. It has many tabulations we needed. We had read the older edition. This edition is fabulous.
