Terrific imagination on the rope handle. I can't wait to make one. A real stroke of genius.

I make mortise and tenon joints ranging from simple hand tools up to the Leigh Frame Mortise and Tenon Jig. The first time I used the FMT I did a test fit of a joint. When I pulled the tenon out and the heard a loud "pop" from the vacuum I knew I had experienced something special. But, there are times that I use hand tools just for the pleasure of it. For me woodworking is a hobby and I don't do it for a living.

I have found that I almost always learn something from articles about building furniture reguardless of which period or style is featured. That said, I really enjoy Arts and Craft, Green and Green, and Shaker furniture because these styles feature the beauty of the wood.
