Hello, welcome to the Bore You to Sleep podcast, the podcast that will hopefully help you get to sleep.

I am going to read an open source book, one that is not particularly interesting, but one that is

hopefully boring enough to get you to sleep.

Tonight's readings come from wood carving, design and workmanship.

This is a technical book that was published in 1903 by D. Appleton and Company.

It was written by George Jack and provides a guide for anyone to become an expert in wood carving.

My name is Teddy and I aim to help people everywhere get a good night's rest.

I want to help people doze off so that they can have a productive day and achieve whatever

it is they set out to do.

I read a different story every episode to help you get a good night's rest.

It is designed to play in the background as you slowly fall asleep. Every episode tells a different

story and you're welcome to listen to whichever one works for you.

Special thank you to iTunes listeners J.B.N.N.N.Y. C.M. Sof C Short, birdie lady and leasy cat for your kind words.

this podcast is to help everywhere get a good night's sleep, but I do need

In the meantime, lie back, relax and enjoy the readings.
