This might be considered off topic but my favorite woodworker was my father in law. Not so much as a woodworker but as a man and role model. He passed in ‘89 and I miss him every day.

Lots of great woodworkers mentioned on this thread. I'll add a couple I didn't notice: Brian Newell (apparently his web-site is defunct, but lots of images of his work to be seen on the web), and my neighbor Tim Coleman, https://timothycoleman.com/ , who appears in FWW magazine often usually as a techniques guy.
As a box maker I'll also mention Michael Cullen.

I actually wrote "drawahs" on a piece of plywood I was saving to match the adjacent door panel on some shop furniture. This was a nod to Norm and his accent.

If I had to pick outside of my family, when I was getting started 25 years ago, especially when I was focusing on Federal Furniture, I picked up a lot of tips and techniques from:Originally Posted by Ernie Hobbs

James Krenov, after taking some of his books out at the library when in my mid twenties. Made an impression I've never forgotten. Christian Becksvoort, as I am a Shaker fan, and Garret Hack, from their FWW articles. And Scott Landis, for the Workbench, and Workshop books, which had a huge impact on me when I set up my own shop.

In no particular order: Sam Maloof, James Krenov, Michael Fortune, Garrett Hack and Roy Underhill. The first 4 all have furniture designs that greatly appeal to me. I admire Roy Underhill for helping to revive the interest in hand tool woodworking. I have had the pleasure of taking classes with Garrett and Roy and both are excellent and approachable instructors and just nice people.

Preferring the shaker style, Chris Becksvoort, Thomas Moser and Tage Frid has been a huge influence to me. Many others like Mary May, Nancy Hillier, Chris Buchanan, David Fisher, all great in their own right has all had some influence as well.

Irvin Somogyi is another on my list.
