Sawdust & Woodchips Newsletter #73

Dear reader,

You are signed up to receive Sawdust & Woodchips' newsletter on a somewhat sporadic basis in the hopes that you will find value in its content and that it will aid you in your own personal woodworking journey.

2017 is well under way and with it comes the promise of change.

There has been somewhat of an hiatus in the newsletter of late - but lots of activity in the S&W woodshop - several new articles (coming soon) and lots of water... (see post below)

If you ever find that what is offered is not for you, Drop me a line, tell me what could be changed, alternatively simply click 'unsubscribe' at the bottom of any email. But at lease tell us before you do that - we are always interested in hearing your woodworking stories - so drop us a line send your project images.

All posts are available in the archived

Thanks for your interest in S&W

Michael

He served in Vietnam as an army photographer, and returned to the States with the intention to study photography at the Rhode Island School of Design. A random choice of electives led Gilpin to woodworking, and his first teacher (and future mentor) was Tage Frid.
