If you’re not familiar with WoodworkersResource.com and its founder, Craig Stevens, well, it’s worth taking the time to visit his site. Craig started Woodworkers Resource in 2005 after a decade of teaching himself woodworking though trial and error, and reading lots of woodworking books. His goal was to create a woodworking community and provide information and a source of inspiration for other burgeoning woodworkers, especially young people who are interested in getting started in the craft.
Three years later, his site provides top-notch advice on products, tips and techniques to improve your skills, a plethora of instructional and informational videos, and a list of some of the best woodworking resources on the Internet. Plus, Woodworkers Resource is an excellent reference for teaching woodworking to kids.
If you’re coming to the Woodworking in America Conference in Berea, Ky., Nov. 14-16, you’ll get a chance to meet Craig. And in preparation for the event, he’s been busy interviewing many of the expert instructors who are teaching at the conference. Currently on Craig’s site, you’ll find his interview with the “Dean of Windsor Chairs” and founder of The Windsor Institute, Michael Dunbar. Next on tap is an interview with Bridge City Tool Works president, John Economaki. And in the coming weeks, Craig will post interviews with Adam Cherubini, Robin Lee, Tom Lie-Nielsen, Clarence Blanchard and Dave Jeske (and he’s lining up more interviews as I write this).
You can listen to the interviews at his site (click here to hear what Michael Dunbar has to say), and sign up for notification messages when new interviews are posted. Plus, after signing up you’ll be able to download MP3s of the interviews, so you can take them with you wherever your MP3 player can go!
