  1. Kevin - Worry not, even a retired woodworker still has his head and hand in it. I sold the shop last year to my #1 man, and he has moved it and it is fully operational. He and I are of similar minds, so things should not be too different.

    I hit the trifecta last year - Sold the shop, published the book, and retired. Still posting on Woodweb and here when I can. I have reset a new shop - same building, just new, smaller equipment. I have plans to make a few small things for sale or fun or whatever. Small things - no more 300# doors!

    I am 72, and had 53 years in the shop. No gold watch, but I did get a great case of hearing loss! I had one hip replaced last June, and will do the other this year. Arthritis made it hard to walk.

    David,

    I see your profile says "retired". For real? Is Acorn Woodworks still operating?

    I have learned a lot from your posts at Woodweb and here, and from your door book. I hope you continue to write as you have a lot of experience and innovative methods in an area of woodworking that is not well documented. I am thinking in particular of your curved stringer technique. I have a few old texts on the shelf like Ellis' Modern Practical Joinery that would be complemented by your work.

    Anyway, thanks for sharing your knowledge, and I hope you are well.

    regards,

    Kevin Jenness

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.
