Woodworking Profits Can Become Sawdust

I wanted to share this woodworking article with you….

As I sat for my morning coffee this Sunday I found a great article in the New York Times (March 4. 2015).  As I read it I thought the author must be or was a woodworker.  He caught the essence of a project so well and described it with great clarity.

Can you relate to this woodworking story?

I think it captures a lot of the reality.  Maybe I am biased, but the article seemed a bit — negative.   I like the images of his work and his descriptions of his process – both mental and physical.   We share or feelings about those Festool prices and capabilities for sure.   Contrary to the tools information the article takes us back to hand tools.

One section quotes Peter Korn [Center for Furniture Craftsmanship] on using hand them.

“When I was a self-employed furniture maker, I made every mortise and tenon by hand.  Because I enjoyed it and it was about integrity.  And I starved.”

And here are are – paraphrasing the article – beer thirty is approaching.  time to post this piece.
