I am a 56 year old male and have been woodworking for the last 33 years I am mostly self taught learning mostly from books and magazines.I was lucky to have a best friend who was an X submarine commader who had been woodworking sincechildhood and infact still has a number of gradpapys tools. Ilove designing and making furnature best of al although I am a compitent woodturner bordering on being a professional.Unfortunately I suffered a major stroke in 2004 which apart from nearly killing me left me with a much weakend Left side and some neurological deficet. Before thestroke I would say I was nearing exhibition standard.Now I live in Spain and cannot get any decent hard woods so Have to make most things in Pine unfortunately

Re: David Haig: Bending Timber

when I saw this chair on my latest magazine My very first thoughts were WOW!!!!!!!Iv'e since watched your video and am sat in front of my machine here in Spain. Absolutely green with envy. After looking at your pictures I thought I detected a bit of Sams influence and I agree double you price I am a typical amature woodworker who makes and thinks Ahh knowbody will pay X for that!! but quality always wins out and even in todays financial climate for the right piece pockets can be deep.So what have you got to loose.If I may be very bold and suggest you look up the work of John Makepiece He creats some wonderful pieces often with many bends or curves in and much of the time using lamination techniques instead of steam bending Hope you don't think I'm to cheeky for this suggestion but I think your work is great

Re: chest on stand

Clearly not a student of the late great james Krenov There appears to be a great lack of harmony throughout the piece Although I'm sure its well constructed with faltless joints and well finished but would suggest the maker reads A CABINET MAKERS NOTEBOOK TO SEE SOME TRULY GREAT CABINETS ON STANDS

Re: New Yankee Workshop Series Ends

Norm always made me feel I CAN DO THAT!!!! I always thought Norm could do with some classes on woodturning But does it realy matter how you get there as long as you arrive with all 10 fingers AND2 MOST IMPORTANTLY TWO EYES. NO doubt the programmes will be repeated over and over Sorry to see you go Norn you were a great inspiration to us mear mortals an you will definately be missed by us all
