The most visible challenges include the increased cost of building materials, higher interest rates, labor shortages and logistics. There is however an additional concern that is sometimes overlooked yet can severely impact your woodworking business -– cyberattacks.

Understanding the differences between these two technologies can help you create precise and high-quality wooden products with ease.

Hidey-Hole Mirror Compartment Fell Off My Dresser
I have a dresser with 3 mirrors. The middle mirror is a little hidey-hole for jewelry. You give it a press and it pops open. The mirror (weighing 9 lbs) was glued to a board that is on swivel things on the right side of the compartment. Today, the glue gave up (after 20 years). I hope the pictures show what should be and what is! I would like some advice on how to glue it back, considering the 9 lbs! (Talk to me like the 70 year-old widow that I am, please!! :) )
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Michelle
