Next up…

OK, so it’s been a crazy few weeks for me.

First, there was Get Woodworking Week, which I am certain has been praised in song and story. Then, there was this little thing I did called leaving my job of 21 years to take a new position, and I am working on wrapping things up before taking this new promotion that will take me across Tampa Bay to the neighboring county.

I also got onto eBay and picked up a copy of an old favorite book written by an old TV friend. This was one of the first books I had ever checked out from the library when I was just s young beginning woodworker. There’s something about the work – especially the early works of Norm – that is just comforting. Before flashy ads and high-end post production, Norm was out there, helping dolts like me to get their foot in the door to build projects of our own.

One of the projects in this book will be my next one. and it will be very important to me. I can’t yet say what it is, but believe me, I have the lumber…

roundWhile this will be very similar to some projects I have built in the past, I am looking forward to using some of my new tools – my table saw, my router table, my MicroJig push blocks – to do a safer, more accurate and better job than I ever have before.

Time to make some new memories.
