I must say woodworkers are GREAT people....
I sent Chris Schwarz (popular woodworking) an email telling him how much I have enjoyed his books, blog and a couple of DVD's I have seen and asked him if he was teaching any classes this year.
Well he got back to me and told me he was not due to family committments. He asked me where I lived to see if there was someone in the area that he could recommend. Thought that was really cool...well low and behold I responded to him and within 30 minutes he wrote back and told me Jim Tolpin had a new school he opened up in Port Townsend...a ferry boat ride away...he also said Jim Tolpin was one of his heroes...
Anyway I thought I would pass that on...someone as busy as he is takes the time to respond to emails.....very cool!!
