How I Keep Cooking Knives Sharp



My mother was a farmer's wife. Here's her tip to sharpen knives. When I have a lot of potatoes to prepare, I line up several knives on my countertop. Cutting two raw potatoes into chunks will sharpen one knife easily. You'll notice a big difference.

Let there be light!




I enjoyed a tip I read in one of your previous newsletters on how waking up to a sunlit room makes it easier to get up. Since my alarm goes off at 3:15 a.m., I actually invested in a clock that creates an artificial sunrise beginning 20 minutes before the alarm, then wakes me gently with sounds of birds, piano, rain, etc. It really has helped me get up on schedule.

  This Week's Recommendation

If you love custom furniture, shelves
and accessories made of wood...

And if you or your spouse
like creating with wood...

You will LOVE this resource...


Ted's Woodworking Plans...
16,000 plans, plus bonuses


to create gorgeous pieces out of wood





It's amazing what you can make out of wood, for a fraction of what it would cost in a store. Plus, there's something truly special when you have something in your home that was made with your own hands...or the hands of someone in your family.

Whether you've been wanting your own custom set of Adirondack chairs, a new barn, a bird house, coat rack, chest, coffee table, doll house, deck, dresser, fence, guitar, hutch, mailbox, planter, play house, shelves, stool, tray, toy, wishing well, or (you fill in the blank!), you'll find STEP-BY-STEP instructions, photos, tutorials, and diagrams to make every project laughably easy.

Ted's collection of plans are some of the best I've seen. If you're a woodworker, you really don't want to miss out on this. No matter what, at least have a peek. For details, visit:
