“Tom Iovino’s blog, Tom’s Workbench is a great place for further reflection on what we do as woodworkers. He offers tips on techniques, links to explore and personal observations drawn from his own adventures in making things from wood. Like some of the rest of us, Tom is obsessed. But, fun, and obsessed in a good way, with woodworking and all things wood.”

• Doug Stowe, Published woodworking author

Tom is one heck of a woodworker and writer. He takes pride in every word and has the ability to develop a story even when dealing with simple factual information (like woodworking instruction). I always enjoy reading Tom’s articles and blog posts.

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tom on a number of occassions. His talent for writing brings to life complex ideas and concepts that normally would be difficult to relay to someone who hasn’t experienced them before. And at the same time keeps the attention of someone who has. Tom has made his own website and blog ‘Tom’s Workbench’ a must visit site for his audience and has also consistantly contributed great content for my show ‘Wood Talk Online’ in the form of his regular feature ‘Tom’s Tips’.”

“Contributors to the articles on the Wood Talk Online web site include Tom Iovino, another Italian weekend wood worker originally from the North East but now transplanted, to Florida in his case. Tom has a quick & witty mind and has some interesting insights into woodworking.”
