I have had a life-long passion for building things. Yankee ingenuity, and a family history of antiques were fostered in my father's basement shop, and then in high school wood class. I learned to appreciate and apply the finer skills of furniture making through a weekend apprenticeship with Jeff Miller (J. Miller Handcrafted Furniture) in Chicago, IL. This eight year experience gave me an understanding of hand and power tools, but more importantly, nuance of design, and the attention to detail and finish needed in fine, hand-made custom furniture. In a world of mass-produced knock-offs and particle board junk, I have made it a personal mission to help his generation appreciate great furniture and eventually craft every piece of furniture in my home.

My part-time freelance writing and woodworking projects, commentary and reviews are featured on Gorilla Glue's Web site.

Hello Allen,

Let me welcome to LJs. I am sure that you will find being a member of this group to be both a rewarding and an inspirational part of your woodworking adventure.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Plans for one version of the Holtzapffel workbench is in the Autumn 2007 issue of Woodworking Magazine. The plans for the knock-down version, like I built, can be found on Chris Schwarz’s blog at popularwoodworking.com . Good luck.
