“There are two men inside the artist, the poet and the craftsman. One is born a poet. One becomes a craftsman.”

“One only need two tools in life: WD-40 to make things go, and duct tape to make them stop.”

“When the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.”

“Woodworking is a most satisfying pastime, so varied and multifaceted you will never complete the twin processes you have undertaken: acquiring tools and learning how to use them. You have begun a lifetime pursuit.”
