Shop Notes & Updates 2009

It is the end of 2009 and as I look over this last year all I can say is WOW! 

Wow, what a year of planes (43 in all) and meeting great people.  Planes of all sizes, from little 5¼”smoothers all the way up to a 28½” jointer (that is nearly finished after 120 hours).  And the people are amazing.  I stop making guitars and focus all my efforts on making planes because of the support the woodworking community has given so freely to me.  In 2009 the support has grown even larger.  To everyone who has offered advise, a helping hand in the production process, or commissioned a plane, thank you.

New and improved Shop Notes & Updates

It is all about time.  The faster that you work, the more productive you are.  It is also about having the right tool for the job.  I have been writing these updates on a program that wasn’t made to post blogs.  Every time I wanted to add something it was like building a new website.  New this month, I am using a blogging program (Wordpress).  Keep your fingers crossed that it will run smoothly.  This link will take you to the new blog.
