Retired Engineer and General Contractor. Third generation woodworker; grandfather, father and four uncles were all woodworkers.

Former manufacturer's rep for Coppes Inc. the finest maple cabinetry ever built.

Love all kinds of woodworking from house carpentry to commercial casework. Hard rock northern maple is my favorite, although there are several renewable resource woods that are amazing too. Also love teak.

Re: What's your favorite hand or power tool?

My favorite tool would be hard to choose as just to say tool covers a lot of territory, especially for me. You see I have tools I have bought, tools I have inherited and tools some very special people have given me.
Since this blog asks which is my favorite, I have to choose , so I will choose the Rockwell cabinet saw my father and uncle bought in 1948 or so when they started their construction business. I inherited it when my uncle passed.

This is the saw I learned to use when I was only 12 (I'm 64 now). It is the tool which I was taught to respect most and became the most valued for it's capabilities as well as it's sentimental value nowadays. I fully intend to pass it on to my son in law ( had 4 daughters), thats why I completely rebuilt it three years ago. It is a 110 v saw which can rip 10/4 hard maple stock with NO strain. I have outfitted it with a thin kerf blade and have all sorts of jigs and fixtures, sleds, etc. to make it a workhorse. I even have a router table on the right side extension, which makes a potent shop in a small space. My next upgrade is a dedicated dust collector with a cyclone on it. LOVE THIS SAW!!!!
