While I  would buy a copy of Thompson/Atwoods  book in any format, we may 
now  have a new, complementary  source for this valuable information;   
I'm speaking, of course, of the new consortium, known as the

I'm game and would furnish either pdf or word files you can get pdf on our  
club site 
At midcountyrc.com then to building tips. I am not a computer expert but if  
Terry wants to combine them it's OK by me. Also in a few days I will put 
details  of a recent Laser attachment revision to my jig on the web for download 
for  those interested.
