Hey Dennis;
Congratulations! You deserve it. What you guys have built up is really well deserved.
You could have at least shaved though!
My hat’s off to you.

Thanks Dennis for that peek into your fantastic shop and also your woodworking philosophy. I think what you said in the interview probably reflects what many of us feel with regards to quality and making unique things. I’m sure many of us also envy the way you are making a living out of your passion for fine woodworking. Thanks for posting this. It was very interesting.

It’s great to see a news story about woodworking in such a positive light when they are shutting down high school woodworking programs all over the country. I can see your furniture name lasting a long time. Chippendale, Townsend, Goddard, Zongker, Its got a nice ring to it :-)

Great news coverage. I hope this is not rude. We had a long discussion at work about the table you made with the lions heads. (Most incredible thing I ever saw ) You mentioned it took est 1400 hrs, none of us could come up with a realistic price you would have charged for that table. It this something you could share? Again not trying to be rude its just hard to fathom a price for that with the hrs involved. Oh yea, that Cameo box was something as well.
