Sounds like Mr. Pierce has been in my shop. Seems like no matter how many machines I use in the building of a project, some type of plane gets pulled out to complete the job. Mostly a hand plane, but sometimes a smoother to get 2 adjacent surfaces level. Love to get my hands on this book.

Would love to dive into some more photos and comments of the timeless work of this master. I have the book that chronicles the life/work of Esherick, Maloof and Nakashima and it is a real treat. These are some of the finest craftsmen of our era.

Sounds like something I should have read years ago. Could have saved me some headaches. Some early articles only briefly touched on the subject of wood movement and properties. The videos sound like a great way to get into a class without the travel.

For Christmas I would like not to be so rushed to get a project completed in time for Christmas. I seem to do this each year. Other than that, a nice Steel City dual drum sander sure would lessen the sanding chores somewhat.
