Well, I don't KNOW Brian Boggs. Just met him during that class a few  
years ago. If you ever have a chance and want to learn to make a post  
and rung ladderback, he's your man. He does workshop now and them, in  
various places. (www.brianboggschairs.com) He's very smart, a good  
teacher, engaging, opinionated. And to see him work a drawknife on  
the shavehorse is worth the price of admission. The knife is like a  
blur and chips are flying and ... then the shaping is just exaclty  
right.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who sent kind words of welcome. It's a lot  
of fun around here.
