You'd be welcome anytime, but I have to warn you that the shop I work at is not much to see. It's small, dirty, and really doesn't have any special tools. When I first went to visit before I started my apprenticeship, I was very surprised. I expected a much larger, better equipped shop. But I looked at my boss's portfolio, and that convinced me that the shop wasn't all that important.  I actually like to see how things done just like the way you and your boss do it. One discouraging thing about watching the Yankee workshop is the multitude of tools Norm had. The question keep popping up: "What if I don't have that thingamjig?" |

Well my shop is dirty and small. I think that is about all we have in common. Those pieces are just something else.

One discouraging thing about watching the Yankee workshop is the multitude of tools Norm had. The question keep popping up: "What if I don't have that thingamjig?" Yeah, I think the only really "special" tools we have would be the vacuum bag and the Vega lathe duplicator. The rest is mostly straight forward woodworking with the occasional "innovative" use of a pretty standard tool. Of course if all else fails, there's always hand carving.  Thanks for the kind words everybody. I'm always open to field questions and when I get done with my shop, it'll always be open to anyone who wants to learn. |
