Todd,
Your are doing what I have thought I would like to do. However, the mechanics of business are a bit of a mystery to me. I am starting to get a lot of request for custom work in my area but never know what to charge.
Great projects, you clearly have a great talent.

Happy Anniversary! This week you have been a Lumber Jock for 2 years. Thanks for your participation.

-- Gary, South Central Wisconsin. So much to learn, so little time!

Hey Todd,

Thanks for your comments. I finished this about 4 days before my graduation in in spring ‘06. I am currently completing my junior year at Columbia University in New York City where I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering. With all of my course requirements, I haven’t had the chance to get in a wood shop or take any art classes in the past three years (though I have had the opportunity to work with tools, heavy machinery, and metals on a weekly basis in our machine shop). I guess I had a recent interest to pursue woodworking further so I figured this blog was a good place to start. I was not looking to show my piece (I honestly did not know it was show quality) but I would be open to showcasing it. I was really just looking for a gallery to view and appreciate the work of others and to get ideas for future projects. Ideally, I would like to find a shop somewhere in the NYC area where I could work on a few projects this summer.

I will be sure to look into John Geraghty. Thanks again for the note.

Best,
Chelsey

thanks for that video Its nice here. God Bless

Thanks for your warm welcome and direction to contact Les Hastings. I did so and attended the local woodworking guild and really enjoyed it. I can’t wait to be a part of Lumberjocks as well and learn from the professionals!

-- Karen W., KS.

WOW!! The Cooper House is stunning. You go through a lot of effort to ensure the homeowner is included in the final product. I’d never seen scaled models of concepts used in that way. A great tool for them and you. Beautiful woodwork! And I love the tile work too. Kudos to your wife!

Love that latest project. The wood is beautiful.

I think it’s really cool that you are self taught.

Hi, I apparently haven’t posted enough on LJ’s yet to message you so I’ll leave a comment instead. You can message me back. I’m doing my senior project for school on woodworking and I didn’t realize I need a personal quote from an expert until yesterday, but I was reading your zen of card scraping blog and I loved what you said in it. The part about being in your zone would be perfect for my paper so I wanted to make sure before I did anything that you were okay with me using that as sort of an interview quote since I’m kind of pinched for time. If not, that’s perfectly okay, but I just think it would really sound good in my paragraph about constantly feeling the wood and using your hands.

Thanks,
Max

P.S. I really love your work, especially your modern stuff.
