After deciding to take a breather from the business of woodworking I took a job at Walnut Hollow. This was in early September of 1986. I would leave this position just two months later to work for a friend's company in Madison called Space Metrics. There I would learn the world of the European 32 MM boring system for cabinet making.
Quite a pendulum swing that year; from mortise and tenon joinery with solid wood to melamine clad particle board!
What is the most wonderful ensuing development of a dream pushed aside by the demands of life................an Encore Career..!!
In 1976, at UW-Madison, I got to meet James Krenov and shake his hand. He autographed my copy of his recent book, 'Cabinetmaker's Notebook'. Beyond that, I didn't read any of his other work but his design influence crept into mine through the years.
