David started woodworking at an early age by using the drill press in his father's woodworking buisness to drill holes in blocks of scrap wood on Saturdays. He eventually started actually building recognizable items as he worked with and for his father through high school and college.
A degree in English Literature shifted his sights to journalism, but he was never far away from woodworking, eventually opening his own custom woodworking shop for a few years.
In the mid-90's he found a blending of both worlds, going to work for Popular Woodworking magazine as an editor, builder and tool reviewer.
He took on a side job as host of the DIY Network's Tools & Techniques (still playing somewhere out in space), and in the beginning of the new millenia he started working at his current position as Executive Editor with Popular Woodworking Books.
David lives in Cincinnati, Ohio and still enjoys checking out a new tool, whenever possible. You can visit his web site at www.theshopofthecrafters.com.
As an author, whenever I refer to my book I always feel uncomfortable. While it certainly is my book, there are always others who deserve recognition for its creation.
First is to my family. My wife, Patti and all five kids, Dillon, Danielle, Shannon, Ben and Zach, who put up with my disappearing into the garage to build something. There were too many weekends lost to the book that could have been family time.
I'll again thank Patti, first for her love then for her design direction and input on all the projects. Even if it was just a comforting that looks great (and there were many more in-depth discussions), her support through the project was extremely important; so I dedicate this book to her. Thank you, babe.
Thanks to Jim Stack, my editor, who I've known for over thirty years, in a few different roles. His patience and quiet support (and excellent illustration work) kept me from chewing my nails too far.
And to my designer Brian Roeth, again for patience and for allowing me to gently nudge the design, even though he knew where he was going.
Thanks also to my e-mail critic, Jeff Korbman, for his instightful read of the nearlyfinished manuscript.
A big thank you to Steve and Kit for letting us use the house of many rooms as background for the opening photos.
And lastly, to my readers over the years, both with Popular Woodworking Magazine, and in earlier books. Your feedback, both positive and corrective gave me the recognition of the need for a book that offered time- and material-consious woodworking projects that still looked good. I hope this book serves as a thank you.
It was 1995 when I first started appreciating Arts & Crafts furniture for its simple lines and honest strength. One of the foremost pieces in this style was the Morris chair (in a dizzying array of designs from known and unknown designers). These chairs held features that I appreciated. Strong, comfortable (for reading or relaxing), ample seat area for one-and-a-half people and generally not all that complicated in design but for the mortise-and-tenon construction.
So I built a couple. They lived up to my expectations, looked good and made me proud. Then fall entered my little part of southwest Ohio and I wanted to spend more time on my deck enjoying the crisp air and the beautiful colors (along with a good cigar and a nice glass of wine). And I wanted to be comfortable like in my Morris chair. While white oak is actually a pretty sturdy outdoor wood, I wasn't in the mood to drag (let alone leave) my Morris chair outside. What to do?
