Another great podcast guys. I’m sure hoping that some of that mahogany that Shannon was referring to makes to one of my hardwood suppliers. I haven’t had any decent mahogany to work with in about 40 years.
As for you idea of a blog or video account of what I’m making is right on the mark. This year I created my woodworking website and wish I had photos of all my past work. As Shannon mentioned I don’t have any photos of all the projects that I did in the past. Any photos that were taken were slides because that was the method of photography I used back then. I sure wish I knew where those photos are in the thoughsands of slides that I have stored away. At least now I have videos of my most recent work.
Keep up the work and thanks for not quitting.
Thanks for taking my call on the show.
While I can appreciate that you want a professional dare I say polished show, I loved it when you kept getting calls, somehow makes it real
Thanks
