I want to take a moment to introduce what is a brand new feature, both for this re-energized website and for myself personally. I have been an active participant in woodworking for many years and along the way I have spoken with thousands of people on the subject. They have been variously, clients, suppliers, fellow strivers in our shared passion, instructors to me and students of mine. What I have not done is to try to express in writing why this is important to me. I was sheltered from that responsibility in my previous website by others doing that for me. It is important to me this time to personally express my love and respect for what I do . This is certainly not driven by any illusions of literary mastery on my part. I can promise to try to share my interests and observations with you and hope that you find them worthy of your attention.

Mike
