Hi Guys,

I'm behind writing this - spent yesterday watching the New England Patriots win their division!  And what about Green Bay?  What a bummer!

Oh well life int he workshop moves on, this week we care busy making style and rail cabinet door for a custom bookcase project we are working on.

The Boston Globe Sunday column is going well and emails are starting to come in.  Here is Sundays article.

We're pretty excited to announce that plans are in action to merge this newsletter with the Tool Box Buzz newsletter, see below for a more detailed explanation.

In two weeks, the ACC crew will be heading out to Las Vegas to attend the World of Concrete.  We will be posting live on Facebook and Twitter as well a posting some interesting videos on Youtube later in the week.  If your going to be at this event and want to set up a meeting, let me know.


Stay well  ~ ROB
