Thank you Mark, it's a good thing to get to know a person whose work and wisdom we all admire. You truly come across as a man who loves to share his life, work, experience in order that we all might learn.
Sorry for being so late reading your insiteful interview. It is a pleasure to get to know you a little better.

I was going to mention Shlamaca, but then I thought, why get everone excited with a species that has become so rare and hard to find.....only a few of us on SMC even know about it! Of course John H. uses it in his ice cream

Great interview Zahid. (Not to imply that any of them have been less than great.) I saw that Mark was on your "to do" list, and was real pleased to see the completed interview posted. Like others here, I've learned a lot from Mark, and been inspired by his work and words. It's great seeing someone who loves what they're doing, and does it so well.

Great interview and great to hear from a talented teacher. Thanks for the interview. Sorry I didn't read this sooner and comment but I've been out of touch the past week.
I visited with Mark Singer today. He has an amazing place - a modern style house that he designed, high up on a hill with a view of the Pacific Ocean. Mark built quite a bit of the furniture in the house and many of the cabinets and closet fixtures. He really does do impressive work.
And, oh yes, his shop. He has a spacious well equipped shop with a complete set of power tools but also has many hand tools, including an impressive set of metal and wood planes and quite a number of back saws. We got so involved in discussing woodworking that I didn’t take many pictures. I am including one of Mark resawing, which unfortunately doesn’t really show his shop.
A very enjoyable visit. Thanks, Mark!
