Reader Feedback

Last month's article about turning our hobby into a vocation generated a lot of e-mail. Thank you to all for the compliments and for not wanting to skin me alive. There is not room here to provide a sampling of all the various feedback, but Rudy from Mississippi had some extremely poignant remarks. About buying quality tools, he says, "I have found that when my expertise finally exceeds the tool's ability, then I invest in the best replacement." I love that line, "…when my expertise finally exceeds the tool's ability…"

Whether woodworking remains a lifelong hobby or if you decide to make it an income-producing vocation, Rudy's observation, "The need to create lasting beauty is a fundamental human characteristic that drives us and when realized yields great satisfaction" should serve to remind us all of what is at the very core of our hobby. Thanks Rudy!
