Idea #1. Adjustable music stand (tray moves from 32" to 41" from floor). Curly maple or walnut with ash. Not sure yet. Quick mock up with scrap wood.

Back in the '90s, a phrase commonly heard around the remote sensing lab was, "Windows 98 = Mac '84", often following the crash of a PC halfway through some simple task. As with computers, woodworking workbenches were figured out long before Chris Schwarz starting blogging about them (the oldest workbench known is from 50 A.D.). But unlike the PC, Schwarz has managed to improve greatly on the early designs. Today, there are 100 videos on YouTube showing how to build a Split-to

A while back, I watched Roy Underhill make a "collapsing ladder" designed by Thomas Jefferson. Roy emphasized the need for quality wood for both rail and rung. Straight grain is especially important, as Jefferson advised, "My grain runneth straight". I thought that phrase would make a good tshirt for Underhill's woodworking school, The Woodwright's School. It also might make a good slogan for a woodworking club in dryland wheat country.

Twenty gullies cut the Alder Ridge Landslide. The slide is developed in the Selah interbed and involves Miocene basalt bedrock, but several Pleistocene surficial units ride on top and partially cover it. Sheeted dikes cut stratified, possibly flood-reworked basaltic colluvium atop landslide deposits. Exposure is a 2.5m high vertical bank in one of the gullies.
