Congratulations Dave Anderson

[Marc Hills]

It was a real treat to open the spring edition of Woodworking Magazine and see that our own Dave Anderson, aka Chester Toolworks, was among the manufacturers included in an in-depth review of high quality marking knives.

While I'd like to go into detail about what the magazine had to say about Dave's product, I'll keep this strictly non-commercial by simply offering my hearty congratulations to Dave for receiving national recognition for his craft.

I know how important it is for small business start-ups to receive broad media exposure, so this is a real boost for Chester Toolworks.

PS: Woodworking is an outstanding magazine, focusing on tool and joinery technique. It is also a rarity: a national publication with absolutely no advertising.

A will add my congratulations Dave.

I don't think that I have ever seen a copy of Woodworking magazine, but now I will be on the lookout for it.

[Dick Parr]

Congratulations Dave, you do beautiful work with tools and deserve the recognition. Well done.

[Carl Eyman]

Gosh! and we knew him before he was rich and famous.

I knew the review was coming, but I haven't heard anything about the results and haven't seen the new copy of the magazine yet so I can't really comment. It looks like I need to make a trip to the Barnes & Noble or some other bookstore today and buy a copy.

Dave,

Congratulations. I haven't seen the magazine in question either, but regardless of what they say (which I strongly suspect is good), you create some absolutely beautiful tools. I checked out your web site resulting from the previous posts a few days ago, and I wish you the very best in the expansion of your business.

I have one of the knives and love it. I took a class where we handcut dovetails and both instructors wanted to know where the knife came from! Congrats Dave!

I think I'll do the same!!! Looks like a "group buy" is headed for CTW.........

Well done Dave

Congratulations, Dave!! great exposure and well-deserved...

[John Miliunas]

Whew! Do I ever feel lucky now: I managed to get one of Dave's former "limited production" marking knifes (Snakewood), before he made it to the BIG time! Congrats Dave! Well deserved and if the product you have now is anywhere near the quality of the one I acquired from you many, many months ago, it should take top honors! Love it and use it a LOT, even on the electron-burning side of things! Best of luck to you with the business venture, though I DO hope you have time left to produce some of the wonderful creations you make so beautifully!
