This morning I became increasingly more aware of just how large the globe of woodworkers is and how small our globe has become with regards to woodworkers connecting with one another. Some months ago I blogged pretty extensively on something I call the Real Woodworking Campaign and many if you signed up insupport of my efforts to repatriate people to the craft of working wood. This was the perspective of working real wood using skilled methods that weren't so much hard but required self discipline Read More

Walk the woods, get sanity, find peace

Today I am determined to finish off some things but my wellbeing comes from a range of important things and not just working wood. It’s as important for me to walk the wood as it is to work the wood.

 Thanks you for sharing your huge knowledge and doing it with a smile Read More

Thought for the day – The man says…

A man came in the workshop and said, “I remember woodworking in school. He was 70. The other man says, “Me too.” They talk for a minute and say how much they love the smell, how bad they were at woodworking and how much they loved it.

He says, “I loved woodworking classes at school, but by the time I could Read More
