The Artful Codger

This would solve my next year's Christmas list. Perfect idea.

Just what I need! Since Hurricane Ivan flooded our home I've rebuilt a number of cabinets -- all but the doors and drawers.

Many years ago, when I was a mechanical engineer designing dredge pumps and rock crushers, I stumbled on a copy of Fine Woodworking and opened it to an article on how to make a newel post. I knew that that was the kind of woodworking I wanted to do. I still remember the images and description of the intricate joinery and never lost that inspiration. Watching Norm gave me the confidence to invest in good tools and keep learning. Now, the most recent things I've made are kitchen cabinets to replace those flooded by Hurricane Ivan and a set of barrister's bookcases for my granddaughter's college graduation. Thanks, Norm, for the confidence, and for many happy hours acquiring it and the skills.

Whe you see a banner ad, it's because the site sold that space, usually to Google, and the site has little if any control over what gets advertised. It's not an editorial statement by the site.
