Excellent interview David and Todd. I like your work philosophy and integrity Todd. I will never reach the level that you have attained, but I will certainly step up my expectations of what my work should be. Thanks again for the wonderful and interesting interview and David, I’ll be looking for the next installment of your Cyber Interviews – good stuff.

Thank you David and Todd. In another thread it was mentioned that seeing a face helped to make a connection to another person. This interview goes even further by letting us hear Todd’s own words and virtually share the conversation. Very well done.

Brilliant! This was quite engaging and informative.

Four years—that bolsters me to be the craftsman I aspire to be. I like the little glimpse at a conversation about techniques that you gave us there at the end, David. Keep up the good work.

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

Excellent video. Mr Todd, you smile too much aside from that someone should call Hollywood. I see a multi-mill series! Good luck!

David…....that was excellent, alot of fun to watch and hear. Really good repoirte between you and Todd. I liked Todd’s comment on raising ones level of design purely on hardware availability and selection. Really enjoyed the interview.

Hey Todd, I sure feel like I know a lot about you now. I’ve certainly enjoyed all of your work and posts and now having a face/voice sure puts the whole package together. That was worth the watch. I expect great things from you, Todd! Cheers!

DOH!

Apologies to Scott Shangraw for butchering his name.

I actually met Mark DeCou at the Western Design Conference, not Dennis Mitchell. Sorry guys, I hope I did not offend either one.

Thanks Dave for your hard work and allowing me to share through video. You have been very helpful with the technology aspect and I plan to get video out in the future.

Thank you both so much for doing this. It is an inspiration!

Thank you again!!

-- Hope Never fails

Thank you everyone for the kind words. Todd does have a continuous smile from ear-to-ear and his personality is warm and welcoming just like the big sky state he calls home. It was very cool to put a face and voice to the work, writings and photos. He was pretty much as I imagined! I had to do some editing as the time flew by and I amassed quite a bit of video. More than I could really post because of its size. At the end of my time with Todd, my son was in the shop and Todd started talking with Matthew. I was really impressed with how warm and welcoming Todd was when Matt’s face popped in the video monitor. When Matt walked away he said “Dad that guy rocks!” and I thought to myself, you are absolutely right!
