I have to look back and be sure I included Dad and Grandpa. Dad is back in his shop at 85 after 2 episodes of very bad health. There will be handmade items at the extended family Christmas gift exchange.

gepetto did nice work

+1 for Gepetto! he knew a good piece of wood when he came across one.

I forgot how cute and clever the Adventures Of Pinocchio book is. My memory is mostly of the the Disney movie. It might be time to read Pinocchio again.

Michael Fortune - who has been a pleasure to speak and learn from, and makes beautiful furniture. Not our style to purchase, but a pleasure to marvel at.
Sam Maloof - stunning work.
Cam from Blacktail Studios - not a fan of epoxy furniture, but have built a few pieces for friends who asked for it, and I'm in awe of some of Cam's work.
Marc Spagnuolo - Just enjoy his videos and wonder just how he can move that often
Frank Strazza - Teaches a wonderful course on marquetry, and is amazingly talented

My all time favorite quote from a great wood work is from the late Sam Maloof who said something along the lines of ", as long as I buy wood I have to live long enough to build something". I understand he lived to age 94 and was still making chairs when he passed on. I aspire to that :-).

Phil Lowe. I was very fortunate to have taken classes with Phil for about 5 years before he passed away. He was as nice as he was talented

[Carroll Courtney]

I always wanted to take classes with Marc Adam’s. His work was more realistic for me, being little more simpler and not works of art. Something that falls into hobbies level

[Tom Duboski]

Roy Underhill. His commentary is enlightening, and by the end of many of his tv shows he was sweating thru his suspenders and his knuckles were bleeding. My kinda guy

[Charles P. Wright]

I very much like Jory Brigham's work. I first saw him on framework, and very much like the style of his furniture. I did take the TWW guild Hank chair class and build a version of it.

Norm Abram and Marc Spagnoulo are great educators and I enjoy watching them. Norm inspired me to get into furniture and woodworking. I enjoy watching Matt Cremona too, but he does a lot of not-woodworking content I find interesting.
