		<title>Now Grizzly&#8217;s getting weird</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know Grizzly sells things other than tools, but at least they&#8217;re usually somewhat related to home maintenance, commercial items, etc. But this?]]></description>

		<title>A question on piping</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Patrick wites: On the SDR35 pipe you used, I was not clear if you used the solvent weld fittings or the ones with gaskets.  It looks like you used solvent weld fittings, but is the solvent weld tight enough to avoid vacuum leaks? Yes, those are unglued solvent-weld fittings. As far as I can tell, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ultimate precision drill press</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I needed to make some very precisely placed holes in some existing furniture parts. After puzzling over how to make a jig on the drill press, it hit me: just use the milling machine instead! It worked perfectly. I was able to place the holes absolutely centered and on target. The cross-sliding table was a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where&#8217;s my cut?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[David writes: THANK YOU! I&#8217;ve spent about a week browsing the internet for an article that doesn&#8217;t spend all it&#8217;s time saying &#8220;if you don&#8217;t know how, you need to hire an electrician&#8221;. Your article was very well written, illustrated and covered EXACTLY what I needed to read. Not too much info, no badmouthing the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Update to the drill review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the very most popular pages on TheWoodNerd is the Lithium Ion Drills review. While updating the pricing, I found that the Makita drill had gone up 25% recently! Given that I thought it was barely suitable before, I have to remove my recommendation now. At $230, it&#8217;s just not worth it. The Bosch [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ignorant advice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two different people have sent me emails in the last few days, saying I should do a particular thing to improve the site&#8217;s traffic. Complaining about it, in fact. Let&#8217;s see: I used to do what you suggested. Then I stopped entirely. Traffic has doubled. Why on earth would I go back to doing what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Up another 10%</title>
		<description><![CDATA[September was the busiest month ever here at TheWoodNerd. And then came October. Visitors to the site increased another 10% to well over 11,500. The first three months of the year was a real disaster because of our abortive attempt to use a new domain name. We almost had as many visitors in October as [...]]]></description>

		<title>The records continue to fall</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, we continue to get record numbers of visitors. Just last year, 6000 visitors in a month was a real shocker. But in the last few months, 8-9000 has become the norm. Then came September, which was 20% over August and over 100% better than last fall&#8217;s numbers. Over 10,500 people visited the site in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow, traffic to the site has really been heavy the last couple weeks. For the longest time, we had a steady average of around 275 visitors per day. Lately, it&#8217;s been well over 300 with spikes up near 600! And we just surpassed 2011&#8242;s visitor count in less than nine months. And that&#8217;s including the [...]]]></description>
