continued WOODWORKER'S JOURNAL ON THE WEB Thank you, Mr. Nagyszalanczy for your project ["Horizontal Tilt-top Router Table," December 2009]. It arrived just as 1 was about to begin a project that would make great use of a horizontal router table. Jim Riley Via Internet Stumpers winner Jack Raybourn was delighted with his prize.

"Turn of the Century" In T.C. Knight's response to the diameter statement in the December 2009 issue ["Letters"] he referenced an American chestnut being 17' in diameter at the turn of the century. 1 am also a forester (old, I might add) and frequently used the same "turn of the century" comment as a baseline in discussing forestry issues. That is, until the past few years when I have to stop and remind myself the turn of the century occurred just a relatively short time ago (2000). I've never heard of a chestnut this size in North Carolina in the last 10 years, so I'm sure in this case Mr. kuighl meant the turn of the last century — that is, 1900. Dean Carson Lexington, South Carolina Thanks for the Winnings Thank you, Woodworkers Journal, for creating two weeks to truly remember! Less than two weeks ago, I received a letter from you informing me that I was picked as the winner in "Stumpers" for the November/December issue of Woodworker's Journal. You noted that 1 had won a Porter-Cable Compressor Combo Kit which would be sent by Porter-Cable within six to eight weeks. I was indeed surprised when the gift arrived the following Saturday. I am a retired wildlife biologist and continue a lifelong hobby of woodworking (now a little more seriously). I own several Porter-Cable tools and knew that they manufacture several compressor combo kits. Imagine my surprise when I saw that it was their top kit containing a compressor and three different nail guns. 1 want everyone at Woodworker's Journal to know how thankful I am for your generous gift. Believe me, it will receive a lot of use. Incidentally, I don't know if the magazine purchases its prizes, or if they may be donated by tool manufacturers. Should die latter be true in this case, 1 would appreciate an appropriate Porter-Cable contact so 1 can express my appreciation to them as well. Again, thank you for your generous gift. 1 will 110 longer be able to read "Stumpers" without thinking of the joy you bring to each issue's winner.
