-         YouTube is great, but donwatch related videos! Watch what you came for and then get the hell out of there. You’ll be able to build an airplane with the time you save!+     * Whenever you're cutting or feeding material into a saw, sander, etc. never ever ever lean on your piece; push it from a balanced stance. You should always be able to take both your hands off your piece and still be balanced. Otherwise you could fall into the blades.

-  * Today's RULE comes from our Leather Working Area Champion Adam+  * We have gotten a couple of complaints from our neighbors at the Lenox building.  Please remember
-        * When working on the 4x8 table in the leather working area (in the east room at the Lenox buildingor on the granite block, NEVER use dyes, paints or anything that can stain. These materials easily transfer to the leather being worked on that table and can ruin a person's project. +        * When parking in the alley, make sure your vehicle is in a designated space and that your vehicle does not extend into the alley. Please remember, our neighbors have to back out of their garages and parking spots. Lets give them room to maneuver. 
 +        * When parking on the street: 
 +              * On even numbered days park on the same side of street as our building (either street: Otjen or Lenox) 
 +              * On odd numbered days park on the opposite side of the street as our building (either street: Otjen or Lenox)
