Dear Friends, Fellow Woodworkers and Program Directors:

For some time I have wanted to write and bring you up to date on all the happenings with 'My Grandfathers Lathe' and 'The Broken Clock Woodworking Shop'.  Its been a busy and exciting year.

New Web Address: 
I have developed a new site at:   http://www.WoodArt.Biz

This web address is the new home of My Grandfathers Lathe (for all the round work) and The Broken Clock Woodworking Shop (for all the flat and generational work). This site is dedicated to empowering amateur woodworkers with easy and fun projects.

At this site you will also find a page for program directors, clubs and guild's to easily find and schedule a woodworking lecture. 
Also, I have dedicated a page to the sale of unique items needed for generational work that  I found hard to come by which can be purchased at discounted pricing.
Please visit the site and register for updates and emails, as I will be using that email list primarily.

Upcoming book:
Look for information regarding my up-coming book, published by Schiffer Publishing. This first volume will be an introduction to the multi-generational method of wood design and should be out sometime this fall. 

Open Shop Saturday:
I have been asked for something more hands on. Something in which processes, jig making, difficult cuts, general shop questions and the like can be seen first-hand. My response is the Open Shop Saturday. Specified Saturday mornings will be on the web site schedule and available to drop in at no charge. Just bring the coffee and donuts and I will supply the sawdust.

In closing I would like to thank you. Whether we met at a lecture or off the web, whether you are a fellow woodworker or have purchased one of my pieces of wood art or we have known each other for years, your support and patronage has kept me going through the years. 

I look forward to sending you email updates off the new web site   http://www.WoodArt.Biz   and hope you will respond with comments and pictures of your projects and ideas as well.

Yours always in wet glue and sawdust


Steve
