I am 35 years old and got hooked on woodworking about 9 years ago. I built my own 30 x 30 shop and dedicate it to woodworking. I also own my own Woodmizer and enjoy cutting and drying my own wood. I have taken classes at Marc Adams School of Woodworking and last September took a class with David Marks. Great person, awesome woodworker. My wife says I am "sick" because woodworking is all I talk about anymore. I just can't get enough of it. I have a very supportive wife and two wonderful kids who support me in my quest to become a better woodworker.

Hey Jeff,
What part of Indiana do you live in? How was the Marc Adams school? I’ve been thinking about taking a class at Kelly Mehler’s school in Berea, KY.

Hey JP,

I am in the extreme NE corner of Indiana. From my house in Indiana, you can actually drive southeast and go to Michigan! As far as the Marc Adams School, there is nothing bad about that place. If you get a chance, go there, you won’t be disappointed I guarantee it!

Have a great weekend.

Jeff,
Thanks for the welcome. I love seeing more woodworkers from Indiana. I’m a transplant from South Dakota, but grew up on a farm in Iowa. So I feel like I’m home. We get to Fort Wayne fairly often, my stepsons love the skatepark so we usually try to hit it once a month during the summer. I hope it’s okay if I make you one of my buddies!

Take care!
Teri

Teri,
No problem on the buddy thing. I was going to tell you that I teach handcut dovetails and plane making at Woodcraft in Fort Wayne in case you ever have the desire. Also there is this thing on March 15th here in Fort Wayne called “woodfest”. It is a big woodworking type demostration and usually attracts about 300 people total. I have been asked to give a 75 minute presentation on that. If you go to www.woodcraft.com and search for the Fort Wayne Store’s webpage, it will be under “demos” and you can read about it. Hope you can make it sometime!
