Once again I have to marvel at this guy's work. He is legally blind and we have been corresponding about our woodworking. You've got to see this. http://www.marksworkshop.com/index.htm Gary | ||

It makes me and my work look like amateurs. It's going to be difficult going back to my lathe.
__________________ Harry The best advice that I can give a newcomer to routing is, learn to use the router mounted, this can be as simple as a board held in a vice, with the router firmly attached and a simple fence held with clamps, and when he/she feels competant and confident in it's use and is familiar with all aspects of safety, THEN, and only then proceed to learn how to use the router hand held. This is MY opinion, and may or may not coincide with that of the forum management, but is based on a lifetime of woodworking. http://members.dodo.com.au/~sharry02/ | ||

Excellent work, the pride he shows in the work seems almost triumphant... A great attitude, "this is what I can do."

Amazing work ....i had an uncle that was totally blind and carved toys for me when I was a child......he knew where everything was in the house, worked in his garden and built an unground cellar including all the wood walls, ceiling stairs and door. I was always amazed at what he was able to do........Mark's work is amazing, but how does he move around in this forum Tom | ||
