America's Best Home
Workshops 2009...
Friday, September 18th, 2009
One evening,
about a week or so after I completed transforming my
garage into a workshop, I was surfing the
Wood Magazine
forum pages. I noticed a fellow woodworker had
posted a thread asking for others to share pictures
of their workshop. Since my garage makeover was
completed I figured "sure, why not..." and posted a
dozen or so images from around the shop.
About 2 weeks later I received
an e-mail from the Managing Editor at Wood Magazine
asking if I would like to complete a formal
submission for their 3rd annual
America's Best Home Workshops special interest
publication. I was honored to be considered so I
again figured "sure, why not..." and began the
process of completing the submission. The submission
package included additional shop photos, general
specifications and floor plan and electrical
drawings (which I created using Microsoft Visio).
I was notified several weeks
later that my shop was selected to be premiered in
the 3rd annual America's Best Home Workshops
publication. That was the start of a great
experience that culminated in a wonderful 8-page
article that
contains several photographs and measured
illustrations of a few of my specialty holders and
fixtures. The process
lasted about 9 months and I was fortunate to work
with many great folks including the professional
photograph, technical illustrator, professional
writer and several staff members at Wood Magazine.
It was truly a fun and interesting endeavor.
