Friends:

I'm recovering from Covid....slowly. It's been 2 weeks and I'm just starting to feel normal. People talk about "Covid fatigue" and they're not kidding. I haven't had symptoms for a week, but I've still been glued to the couch. Needless to say, I didn't make a video this week.

Instead, I would like to highlight a young woodworker who deserves more attention. Frank from the channel Frank's Workbench is a talented craftsman with a precise approach to the craft. He makes informative videos filled with humor and wit. I especially like this video on workbench joinery, but I really recommend all his work. If you get a chance, subscribe to Frank's channel and leave him a comment. Tell him I sent you.

As for me, I have some energy today and I even spent an hour in the shop. (I always think it's burned down while I was gone, but it's still there.) I expect to do normal work next week and we have a couple of videos that are almost done. We'll be back on schedule next weekend.

Thanks so much for your patience and support. It means everything to me.
