Always great to meet a new reader. Before you get too excited about my blog make sure you check out my series of videos from the 2009 safety week where I dance around like a fool to "Men Without Hats". If you still want to keep reading and watching after that self inflicted public humiliation then welcome aboard. As I tell everyone I am at your service if there is a specific topic you want me to cover or even a place nearby you would like me to visit. I do take requests and am always looking for an excuse to do a show dedicated to a reader's question. I hope you enjoy the site and I am here for your questions.

Such high praise and I thank you for writing in to share. How great that you have found a way to apply the content that comes from my shop ramblings. You have got to love free wood especially when you know the story of it's provenance. I found that the pieces I have made direct from a tree on my own land or a friend's land hold the greatest significance to me. Also when I have made and sold something that came from a local tree I know the customer really loves to hear about it and we grab on to that knowledge as a way to perpetuate the life of the tree. So the real question is what are you making and what kind of wood are you using? Oh and do you have any extra? Thanks a lot Bill! Such high praise and I thank you for writing in to share.

You have found your voice, so to speak. As one of your students, I appreciate what you do. I was examining yesterday a plank from a tree that I had harvested from my place. As I was developing a strategy for milling the plank, I was reflecting on your planing your wood leading to your workbench. Your excellent teachings form a foundation for all of us. For that, thanks.

Because of your generosity, that allows so many of us to share in your escapades, I feel as though I've gotten to take the ride you've outlined, although vicariously. Thanks for a great year. May you have a great 2010. Cheers --- Larry Your reflections made me smile, Shannon.
