The organization also encourages personal involvement with community projects.

Description:
I believe it is important for every piece of furniture to have a soul
and express its own individuality through design, material
choices and its construction. I design each piece according to
this philosophy. I have a growing attraction to the art of
traditional fine furniture making so I am now minimizing the
amount of machine tools I use and utilizing Japanese hand
tools, which are an art form in themselves. I believe this practice
not only keeps the quality high, it helps give each piece the soul
it deserves.

Description:
I realized that you can't make good cabinets and furniture with just Normite power tools. Neander handtools are essential - chisels, hand saws, planes, scrapers ... and these seem to proliferate at an amazing rate. Three Steve Knight woodies and a couple of marking knives have led me to a boatload of chisels, a pile of iron Stanley planes, a handful of saws and so on.
