Book Shipping and Illness
Added 2021-06-19 12:08:25 +0000 UTCFriends:
As I mentioned in my last post, I have a pretty bad chest-infection. It's not pneumonia (which is nice, since I've already had that three times). Still, I'm pretty under the weather.
But we've been busily packing and shipping your signed copies of Everyday Woodworking. In the picture, you can see about 120 of them all bagged up to go to the post office. Big thanks to Nate and his girlfriend who came by to transport the books. I'm really in no shape to drive.
I'm slowly starting to feel a bit better, but I doubt I'll get a video done for next week.
I know no one minds and everyone wants me to get well again; I just want people to know what to expect.
Thanks to everyone who bought a book; you'll have it soon.
Enjoy the weekend!
--Rex

It's sold out! The publisher didn't print enough. A new order is on the way.

2021-08-08 13:47:44 +0000 UTCEven Amazon are having trouble sending me this book :-) Got a second "your order will be delayed" message on the pre-order today. Congratulations, I think? Assuming it's due to demand.

2021-07-08 09:54:44 +0000 UTCI saw that LOL is like he can translate in his mind 3d puzzles in to a single wood block!!, I like the bridge one. I like Rex style you don't miss details for beginners

2021-07-02 15:10:02 +0000 UTCI got my book a couple of days ago. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your dedication to us, but seriously bro, we live watching you work, so chill out and get better.

James Scanlan
2021-06-25 19:37:10 +0000 UTCWhile you're getting better you can watch this video of an old Japanese woodworker. I know you'll like it. https://youtu.be/X2TIM2f9ubI

2021-06-23 16:03:13 +0000 UTCMine came yesterday! Kept me busy during all the waiting for jury duty today. It's a great read so far.

2021-06-21 19:01:16 +0000 UTCMine arrived in the mail today. Thanks Rex
DAVID BATTERSHELL
2021-06-21 15:58:02 +0000 UTCHope you feel well soon. Got the book and it's amazing, Thanks for all the hard work you do.
John Hiemstra
2021-06-21 00:28:57 +0000 UTCGet well soon, Rex!
Thomas Hverring
2021-06-20 14:41:41 +0000 UTCGet well soon Rex. I know firsthand how a respiratory infection (just say NO to exotic woods) can do a guy in for while. In the meantime we can all just sit and wait for our copies of the Patron edition of your book.
Stephen Ellis
2021-06-20 14:40:28 +0000 UTCYour shipping method is definitely better than the copy I got from Amazon. That one was just thrown in a loose envelope with some minimal bubble wrap on the inside.
Daniel Tickle
2021-06-20 14:26:41 +0000 UTCGet well, we have all had down time, it’s your turn.
ZeroCatOrder
2021-06-20 14:26:07 +0000 UTCAs much as I hope you will recover soon, Rex, I feel sad books can't be shipped to Europe.

2021-06-20 12:19:53 +0000 UTCRex, speedy recovery. I have been a health care provider for 40+ years, and have learned that the lungs need water just like our kidneys to flush out toxins. Rule of thumb- your total weight divided by half = the number of oz. of water needed by the body. Only water counts!!! I really enjoy your post, plans, and web site. thanks for sharing.
Martin Mears
2021-06-20 07:52:40 +0000 UTCI have experience with lung inflections. I am sorry that you are sick. I miss you. Please do what is best for you.
Blaine Dunzweiler
2021-06-20 04:22:30 +0000 UTCMan, I could have gotten a signed copy? Rats. I ordered mine off Amazon and received it yesterday. Book looks great from what I have scanned so far. I think I am going to go through it performing each of the tasks to see if it is as easy to follow as I think it is. Rex, you focus on getting healthy. Lung infections are no joke. I get them a couple times a year and end up on steroids and antibiotics. It's a real pita.
George Shaw
2021-06-20 02:26:58 +0000 UTCFocus on Rex=healthy. Everything else can wait.
Dean Wight
2021-06-20 01:00:24 +0000 UTCCan’t wait to dig in to that book Rex. Probably earned a few sick days just putting that together. Get well soon.
Jeremiah Trammel
2021-06-19 21:41:31 +0000 UTCJust got your book delivered today. I can’t put it down! Great job, thank you for all you do for the woodworking community. Get well soon.
Derrill Dersch
2021-06-19 20:15:42 +0000 UTCHope you start feeling better soon, Rex. My copy of your book just arrived and I'm loving it already!
Eldon
2021-06-19 20:00:40 +0000 UTCJust for future reference, I think you are allowed a week off once in a while. You don't have to get sick to do it. Get well soon!
Jeff Tinsley
2021-06-19 19:47:34 +0000 UTCWaiting patiently for my book from Amazon. Please relax and feel better!
KCSheehan
2021-06-19 19:27:08 +0000 UTCYour physical book is a #1 Best Seller in Amazon, Rex. Congratulations! Get well soon, and take care!

2021-06-19 19:08:56 +0000 UTCTake the tim to get better Rex - it's a marathon not a sprint
John Lamb
2021-06-19 17:40:18 +0000 UTCGet well soon Rex. Just a thought, I know you use mainly hand tools but do you use PPE and good dust extraction in your basement to avoid aggravating chest conditions?
Mad Hamish
2021-06-19 16:34:28 +0000 UTCAre signed books still available? I missed your post on it.

William Allen
2021-06-19 15:42:55 +0000 UTCUgh upper respiratory infections are no fun
Jeff Hill
2021-06-19 15:39:54 +0000 UTCI echo others in saying get well. Health and family is more important than making a video. I also know where my book is (was) I see my copy sitting on the top of one of those bags. :)
Stuart
2021-06-19 15:39:33 +0000 UTCget beetter soon. We can always go from watching videos to making stuff based on them

Avi Sato
2021-06-19 12:33:38 +0000 UTCDear Rex, please get the rest you need. Maybe you should do a low effort video once a month in addition to your break. I‘m thinking along the lines of a „Rex reacts“ video or a „ask Rex“ format where the patreons can ask questions and you answer them. Or a video about a project where you have a zoom conference with a few Patreons who built the project. Maybe a lower effort video will allow you to maintain a healthy work life balance.
