After a few years of cutting off the ends of 2x4s as a carpenter, Charles Durfee ("Japanese-Style Dovetail Saws") began working as a boatbuilder on the coast of Maine. Not liking the cold boat shops, he moved to even colder barns to make furniture and do finish carpentry. Several years later, he managed to upgrade to a nicely heated shop in Woolwich, still near the coast, where he has built furniture and cabinets for the last 20 years.

Bob Smalser ("Get a Handle on Your Chisels") began helping in the family trades of farming, carpentry, and boatbuilding when very young. Woodworking has been at least an income supplement ever since. Smalser is experienced in conserving, restoring, and reproducing antique furniture, firearms, and traditional wooden boats. He and his wife are building a retirement home on a tree farm near Hood Canal, Wash., from woods harvested and milled on their land.

Eric Foertsch (Shop Design) describes himself as a self-taught weekend woodworker. He picked up the pastime 14 years ago, and he uses it as an outlet to unwind from his full-time technology­ consulting business. When not in his timber-frame workshop or hunting for a new tool, he enjoys being a dad to his children, Clare and Daren.
