The above link is a video about Chuck Isaacson's shop published by Wood Magazine, Chuck is a Creek member. What is so unusual is that Chuck is severely disabled from serving in Afghanistan and yet created a shop, that in my humble opinion, rivals the best of what is possible and yet he is wheelchair bound. He made me stop to count my blessings and to admire his courage. There is also a very detailed article about Chuck and his shop in the September issue of Wood Magazine.

Thank you, Chuck, for your service, your courage, and your inspiration.

Great video. Better story. Man, what an inspiration. I knew a little of this from Chuck's posts along his journey, but to see it all laid out on video is very impressive. Thanks for pointing out the video Paul. Doubt that I would have seen it on my own. Jim.

I was wondering if that was the same guy. I recall many of his posts about getting the correct height for his equipment... Much nicer shop than mine and much better work.
