Came across this while reading the news this evening. Hoping this is the appropriate forum.

Cool, sounds like a future tool buyer for sure. Hope someone nearby can give him some safety lessons and better wood to use.

Jimmy Carter is quite an accomplished woodworking.

Are you thinking of Jimmy Carter? As far as I know he is still volunteering with Habitat for Humanity building homes.

Jimmy Carter and Sam Maloof appear on the cover of Woodworker's Journal, Jan/Feb 2006. The former president owns numerous Maloof products. A mutual admiration article appears within.

BTW, I built a version of the G&G dresser (p. 38) from the edition. Lesson learned: don't make large drawers that deep.:)
