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!
