Nice work Dave!

-- Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.

Excellent job there Dave! I started doing woodworking when I was twelve, keep it up up and you’ll be outing doing me ( I better head out to the shop and practice some more.)

-- Les, Wichita, Ks. (I'd rather be covered in saw dust!)

Congratulations, Dave. This is a really nice piece. It is wonderful that you have taken up a hobby like this at your age. It sure beats sitting in front on the tv with a Wii all day.

I am looking forward to seeing some more of your work.

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

Dave,

It is so great that you can learn a life long craft and skill and have such passion at a early age.

How exciting!

Keep up the good work and challegeing yourself.

Tremendous effort there Dave. Congratulations.

Excellent job!

Great Job Dave! I’m proud of you. You did an outstanding job. I’m sure your Dad is very proud of you. Keep hanging around with your Dad and I’m sure your skills will surpass all of ours some day.

Way to go, Dave! I’m pretty sure you already have surpassed my skill levels. Fine work you have done there.

Congratulations Dave!!

Consider yourself real lucky to have a Dad that shares his woodworking talent with you.

I remember when I was young, & puttering around in the basement with my Dad, only without power tools.

We didn’t get to touch a power tool in school, until the 9th grade.

Keep up the good work. Someday you may be able to out do your Dad. LOL

Fine job, but one thing… SAFETY, SAFETY,SAFETY. Try to remember the glasses. All the talent in the world means nothing if you lose and eye.

Looking forward to seeing more

Congratulations Dave – that goes to show you that the apple and in this case – the talent – doesn’t fall far from the tree. The table is really great.

Congratulations on your blue ribbon. More than that, congratulations on your quickly developing skills. You will have a lifetime hobby and potentially a career track with your woodworking interest.

-- Maplewood, MN

Congratulations.. first thing I noticed when I saw the blue ribbon was the word “Professional”.. Now isn’t that the highest compliment!
Well deserved.

Congratulations. You must be very proud of the efforts and skill you put into this table. Well done

Hi Dave.

That is both an excellent table and a great write up.

You show some serious talent in the pictures, like it’s old news to you.

You will someday realize, even more than now, what a great man your father is, and how lucky you are to have a dad like that.

Too bad all kids aren’t blessed like that.

Great job!

Congratulations, Dave. That is quite an accomplishment. A very well done table. You deserve that blue ribbon.

-- Thos. Angle, Owyhee Design, Oregon

Congratulations Dave. Fantastic Job young man. Keep up the good work.

I do have one suggestion to make, and that is because I want you to continue making great projects SAFELY.

Find yourself some safety glasses and use them.

By the way, does Dad make you clean up the shop? That was my job when I worked with my Pops.

Very Nice!!!

Way to go Dave. You did a fantastic job. Well I guess the blue ribbon is telling you that isn’t it. Your Dad better move over, it looks like there’s a new carpenter in the family. mike

Great job, Dave! I love the process pictures as much as the finished result. Keep up the good work!

Dave -

Wow Buddy, Great Job! I am so proud of you. Keep up the good work and maybe you will make something for Hannah and Zac to have to remember you when they see it. You are very good at woodworking and I am sure mom will get lots of cool things from you.

Love you Buddy – see you soon.

Great job, congratulations.

3 things came to mind, all related to jealousy. I hope that you realize:
1) how lucky you are to have such great tools at your disposal
2) how lucky you are to have such a great teacher
3) how lucky you are to have the talent to use 1 and 2 to do such fine work.

Excellent job. I really do hope that I can make something like this down the road. It’s wonderful.
