Even though he passed away nine years ago, I still miss woodworking author Danny Proulx. He was a great woodworker and an awesome teacher of the craft, and he was the first real woodworking celebrity I had ever made contact with.
While he is no longer with us, his website still lives on with the help of Danny’s protégé Luc Rousseau. Many of Danny’s free plans are also still on the site, and this one is a real gem. Using common lumber and standard plastic bins, woodworkers can build a simple toy storage solution to beat the clutter that comes with kid’s toys.
Having stepped on my share of Lego blocks in my day, I can tell you that something like this would have been VERY handy in my house!
Wow, can’t believe it’s nine years already.
I have a couple of Danny’s books and they are a treasure trove of knowledge and plans.
Good pick Tom.
Tom,
I fondly recall Danny’s solid designs, and his great manner on the WWA forums. I remember many a conversation on the forums that he helped out on. Has it truly been 9 years? Ouch, where did the time go?? Thanks for the reminder of such a great guy, I have several of his books, need to dust them off and see what I can build!
Ned
