Free Technical Check Woodworking Observations My wife Pam has always been artistic, both in her vocations and avocations. We met on a blind date in Chicago, and I realized that she was mate material when she readily agreed to accompany me to the American Woodworker Show as our second date. After we married, she discovered my woodworking tools and laid claim. Do you have a wife that says—when you bring home a 14" bandsaw—“couldn’t you have gotten the 18"?” To preserve her digits, she began taking woodworking classes and proceeded to build out the shop with cabinets, benches, tables, and stands, replacing my makeshift crates. She also has crafted numerous pieces for the house, from bathroom counters and fireplace mantles to furniture for the bedrooms, dining room, and den. Often, visitors ask if I show her work in the magazine, and I reply “I will when she wins a First Place in an exhibition” (not totally true, since I bragged about her Second Place ribbon at the Orange County Fair in 2010 for her nightstands). Now, she has called my bluff. She entered a solid Sipo and Mahogany Media Cabinet in San Diego’s Design in Wood exhibition. When I arrived to judge Best of Show, it became apparent that she had won a category prize, and the piece was attracting interest among the jurors of the industry awards. All I knew at the time was that it was not among the list of First Place winners from which I was to choose. Her category prize was a Fourth Place in Contemporary Furniture, but her industry award was a First Place in Excellence in Finishing. This is most appropriate, rewarding her for hours and hours of sanding and applying coats of oil finish to dramatically bring forth the chatoyance of the grain (not truly reflected in the picture). So Pam has rightfully earned her place in the Design in Wood pictorial (pages 19-23). And to the male entrant who asked “That was done by a girl?” on delivery day, I can only reply: “And how many prizes did you win?” Ron Goldman Publisher We Keep All SawStop Models In Stock with Free Delivery to Most California Locations TOOLS TOOLS Visit Our Showroom Parts & Service for SawStop SAWSTOP • GENERAL • POWERMATIC • AGAZZANI • FESTOOL • JET • LAGUNA Page 8 Woodworker West July-August, 2013
