David Charlesworth
R.J.Whelan
>Last week I happened to be in a gallery that shows my work and chanced to get into a conversation with a gentleman who was looking at a table I'd made.
He was drawn especially to the show card which explained not only what materials were used but also pointed out the nature of hand work (planing, DTs, etc).
He had been in England the week before taking a one-week class with David Charlesworth; he said it was the best learning experience he'd ever had (not just in woodworking) and his wife loved the area and had no complaints about being left alone for 12 hours each day.
I just about have SWMBO convinced that we should go England (for me) and Italy (for her) to celebrate our anniversary. Wish me luck; if we do make the trip I know exactly what I'll be doing during my part of the trip.
