This is the first time I have seen one of your home chat programs. Super job of explaining how to do inlaid edge banding. Just watching is like being an apprentice to a master. As an amateur cabinet maker, I started teaching myself woodworking and cabinetmaking by studying high school woodshop course textbooks. I have been a fan of woodworking shows since the 1950's. The first show was Walt's Workshop on live Chicago TV. The instructor was Walt Durban, a master carpenter and woodshop teacher at the Highland Park High School, in Highland Park, IL. I think I have seen every nationally televised woodworking series over the years since then. All have been wonderful and they have actually been getting better over the years--I am still learning more in my 80's. But I have to say, your Classic Woodworking show is consistently the best ever from the standpoint of classical furniture making. So I want to express my thanks to you and to Taunton Press for all that you do for woodworking enthusiasts like me. And my library includes every issue of Fine WoodWorking Magazine from the very first one. I hope they can bring Classic Woodworking back for another season.
Thank you so much for saying that Poppa. I don’t feel worthy of such a high compliment but I am very flattered and grateful to know you feel that way. I have been a fan of woodworking shows too, watching the New Yankee Workshop now and then...but since my life was so immersed in furniture making full time, I would often want to get away from it when enjoying my “hobby” time. So now I can’t believe I am in the footsteps of Norm, working with the same network WGBH in Boston, that produced his show beginning thirty years ago! You may be happy to know things are in motion to get the next season of Classic Woodworking going again...in the ramped up fund-raising time right now. I’m eager to start shooting new episodes, probably in the fall with the premiere coming out in January 2022. I will keep you informed if you are on our mailing list at epicwoodworking.com. Thank you again! 👍👍
Hi Tom, I always wondered how to edge bind furniture, how I know. Thank you for the lessen on edge binding, as always your knowledge in teaching different methods of woodworking is excellent. See you on SNL.
Thanks a bunch! This is exactly what I was asking about a couple weeks ago. What I enjoy most in woodworking videos is the methodology or process steps that you use to get the finihed products and results. Really appreciate your work.
Your welcome James! Thanks for asking the question, which made me look back and realize I had not yet covered this topic...perfect timing! Glad to have you watching 👍
Holy cow Tom, I've always wanted to learn to play guitar too! , I just got my first guitar for Christmas, and am slowly learning to play! My fingers aren't long enough! I am looking into all the guitar stands, and at some point want to make a two piece fit low stand as a influencer project or vlog.
That’s awesome Frank! I was wondering if it was getting too late to learn to play😮 , but why not?!! Music adds so much to life...as I know you already know Elvis 😎👍
Sounds like Gaboon, but if it’s black, it’s hard to tell even if it’s not. Real Gaboon Ebony is ridiculously high priced these days…even Gibson guitars decided to go with another species. Hope it works well for you 👍
Thomastik-Infeld PJ116 John Pearse Folk Acoustic Guitar Strings try those out for finger picking it doesn’t get any better. Any Martin or la Bella classical series nylons strings will sound great, but each musician has a sound in their head they have to find for themselves. Thomastik are the string used in 90% of orchestra, big band acoustic, and college bands. But folk players swear by their Martin and la Bella. Buy different sets every 3 months until you find one you like.

Thanks Steve! It’s my pleasure, as you might be able to tell 😎

Thanks for the details and step by step explanation. I hope you’ll consider building a guitar sometime.
Yes, I’m planning on it right now...and “slowly” learning to play myself, thanks! 👍😎

I just Ordered a couple pieces of this wood species. Well not sure if it's gaboon ebony, but it has a very dark grain, and is super black?
