The design of furmiture facinates me. School covered the how, the mechanics. I can't seem to find many sources where there is much on the history in practicle aspect. I hope this blog can fill some of the voids in my education. I look forward to finding out whats next. Thanks Chuck,

My wife and I recently decided that it was time I did something that I loved doing. I'm inspired, awed, amazed, and more inspired by what I've found here. I appreciate this so much, and can't wait until I announce a (meaningful) blog!

Since I had the pleasure of seeing "Chuck" close-up, in person, on several ocasions, let me just say, he's a very talented craftsman, and he is every bit as good teaching woodworking. For anyone looking to improve their skills or try their hand at woodworking, I'd encourage them to make a straight line to Chuck!

I have some qustions on how you made your story stick I have never made one and think it would be something i should start doing to help work out some details. I normally just draw it on paper mostly not to scale either. Could you go more in depth on how you approch this procees for a frist timer? The Part about the beading bit I didn;t follow . I normally purchase all my bits so if you didn't have the knowledge to create a custom profile how would you beed the radius on the front of the horz. divder ? keep up the good work and i look forward to seeing more thanks Chuck,
