Nice that you got this up before he passed. Wendell's influence will be missed.

What a great tribute. Thank you so much for introducing me to him at the Furniture Society Show in Philadelphia in June of 2016. I had coffee with him at the outdoor area in the nearby Starbucks. He was genuinely warm and generous. He seemed sincerely interested in my opinions and gladly shared his opinions. I learned more in that twenty minutes about perspective and how to foster creativity than seems possible. I will forever be indebted to you. The world is a little less interesting now.

Thanks for the video! I’m reading the 1976 fine woodworking about his process.

Good luck! thanks

A serious woodworker who has been in a leadership role for evolving wood designs needs serious equipment. How did it feel being back in Wendell's shop?

[@imaginegrove]

I haven't yet been back to the shop since he has passed. Only the house. A bit surreal.

What is the name of that articulating robot machine?

[@imaginegrove]

A carving robot, it was custom made from various parts, so no real brand name

[@tableshaper4076]

If he keeps his projects how does he make money, that Martin saw is 80 grand!

[@easyinlay]

He doesn't keep them
