stare...

The Cabinetmaking Forum has gone to the dogs. Literally.
One forum contributor's most reliable employee - his
German shepherd - is driven wild by the sound of the
edgebander. Leo the Labrador joins in the fray by modeling
some super-duty doggy safety gear. Share your shop dog
tails... er, *tales*... right here (and don't forget a
picture!):
