I am a 56 year old male and have been woodworking for the last 33 years I am mostly self taught learning mostly from books and magazines.I was lucky to have a best friend who was an X submarine commader who had been woodworking sincechildhood and infact still has a number of gradpapys tools. Ilove designing and making furnature best of al although I am a compitent woodturner bordering on being a professional.Unfortunately I suffered a major stroke in 2004 which apart from nearly killing me left me with a much weakend Left side and some neurological deficet. Before thestroke I would say I was nearing exhibition standard.Now I live in Spain and cannot get any decent hard woods so Have to make most things in Pine unfortunately

Re: chest on stand

Clearly not a student of the late great james Krenov There appears to be a great lack of harmony throughout the piece Although I'm sure its well constructed with faltless joints and well finished but would suggest the maker reads A CABINET MAKERS NOTEBOOK TO SEE SOME TRULY GREAT CABINETS ON STANDS

Re: New Yankee Workshop Series Ends

Norm always made me feel I CAN DO THAT!!!! I always thought Norm could do with some classes on woodturning But does it realy matter how you get there as long as you arrive with all 10 fingers AND2 MOST IMPORTANTLY TWO EYES. NO doubt the programmes will be repeated over and over Sorry to see you go Norn you were a great inspiration to us mear mortals an you will definately be missed by us all
