I have been a subscriber since issue #33--March/April 1982. I have every one of those issues, as well as all 5 "Techniques" issues to cover EVERYTHING!

I have just started building Eugene Landon's "Queen Anne Handerchief Table" (Issue #52). I much admire and wish I could have met Eugene.

I think you can tell that I really love "Finewoodworking". My one gripe is that, despite the many and valiant efforts you have made to provide good indices, I frequently have a hell of a time finding a remembered article.

If I had the prize CD, it might help!

Thank all of you, past and present contributors, for your terrific magazine.

Matt is saying: "If you guess which finger is going to pop up, you'll win a marking gauge. If you're wrong, you'll know it immediately"

Wolodymyr;

Enjoyed both your blog writing and the photo of the hurdy-gurdy.

Would love to see more. Would also love to build one, but despite extensive woodworking experience, don't know where to start with musical instruments.

Could you write an article?

Thanks, Frank Gloeckner

But what did you do on your day off?

Great work!

Frank

Okotok;

A beautiful guitar! Well done!

To tell the truth, I didn't notice it until you had commented on the Cherry toolchest I made and told me you had made one substantially larger! It must have taken two men and a boy to get it upstairs; mine is heavy, even tho smaller!

But that's OK; someday in the far distant future, you can use it for a coffin!

It reminds me of the story my Dad used to tell about he and a friend building a canoe in the attic and then realizing they had no way to get it out!

You did a great job on the guitar!

Frank

Kevin;

Beautiful work! and what an imagination!

And Congratulations!

Frank

Well done, Russ.

And congratulations!

Frank

Benji;

I can't say it any better than Jurgen01: You have posted a beautiful piece of furniture. Is it as comfortable as it looks?

I note that you are a pro who has built his own house. I would love to see some pictures of it.

Paul;

You do magnificent work! I can understand that 5-sided legs are difficult---even God does not attempt them.

The grandfather clock and vase are terrific as well.

Frank

magnificent job, Ed. I don't even DARE something requiring that much concentration. Frank.

Troy,

Thanks for note. My grandaughter took pics of the trays and e-mailed to me--they're in there now!

I need to post a comment to have a chance on the cookies. But since I'm doing so, I may as well make a worthwhile comment:

I am a VERY LONG TIME subscriber to your fine magazine, and an early subscriber to this website. Both are terrific! I admire the talent and dedication of your professional woodworking contributors; I have followed their writings and recommendations on numerous occasions and been delighted with the results.
Your editorial staff (magazine and website)is no less competent--they bring the subject alive with great imagination and skill.

Thank you, Frank Gloeckner

Restoring an old piece of furniture is equally as rewarding as building a new piece. Over the years I have done much of each and learned much in the processes.

I am always anxious to learn more and would love to win what appears to be an excellent book about restoraton.
