Michael is a master craftsman. His lessons and class are always clear and easy to follow. Most of all he doesn't mind sharing his knowledge with all woodworkers no matter their level of experience. He is also a master at encouraging each student. If you get the opportunity be sure to take one of his classes or video series. Thanks Michael for all the lesson you have taught me.
Agree entirely with ouachita. I might add that the chair is great. I have taken many a nap after lunch!
Thanks, Michael! I really enjoyed your instruction and expert advice. Great project
