If you've ever seen Thomas J. MacDonald, a.k.a. T-Chisel, on the web, or in person, you immediately learn two things about him: One, he loves coffee. Two, he's a serious sports fan. OK, three things -- he is talented builder of  18th century American furniture.

MacDonald, who wrote a feature for Fine Woodworking magazine (Issue No. 203) on building a step stool, aims to offer online instruction for his fans as well as keep a forum going where he challenges others to build his projects and show off their progress.

To help fund his venture, he is selling a small line of woodworking tools under the Grand Slam Tools label. We have not yet had a chance to try these out. Maybe he'll let us borrow a few and pound on them.

Check out his website Major League Woodworking and tell him Fine Woodworking sent you. That and "Go Yankees!"
