Re: James Krenov: Virtuoso in Words and Wood

I distinctly remember reading his book and thinking to myself, I didn't know anyone thought about wood like that.
Thank you Jonathan for capturing and sharing that moment.

I find it interesting that after writing "The Cabinetmaker's Notebook", he received hundreds of letters from people saying that they thought they were the only one who thought about wood like that.

Re: Making Molding with a Stanley #55

'We should all be so lucky to be chained to a rock and have our livers eaten daily by an organ-hungry raptor than to suffer the agony of this contraption.' -Patrick Leach

In spite of Mr Leach's endorsement of the Stanley #55, I have had some success with it. Practice and patience are the key. Also stay with the single skate profiles. When you try to set it up for muliple skates is when it quickly approaches Rube Goldberg status.
