Interesting Web Sites

Woodworking

• My friend, Kirk Schuly of K.S. Furniture and Design specializes in fine veneer work. He's one of my shopmates.

 
• Sal Marino Sal has some informative articles on veneering, finishing and refinishing.

 
• Internetwoodworking.com Formerly "W⁵: WoodWorking on the World Wide Web" and before that "Woodworking in the Garage." Author Robert Brown has amassed one of the best lists of woodworking sites anywhere. If you need something, look at his page first. Must reading.
• One of the best places to look for help with your woodworking is on the online forums. Fine Woodworking has a good one called Knots. You might also want to look at Wood Central and WoodWeb.

Family, Friends, and Miscellany

• Tim Cleves makes wonderful hand bound journals, photo and wedding albums at Copper Books.
• Aram Sinnreich and Dunia Best are Brave New Girl. A phat fusion of Ska and Jazz.
• My accountant, Victoria Bush, is the greatest! She explains the most arcane principles of accounting and tax code in language even I can understand. She works in Brooklyn, NY. Victoria is a real pro. I highly recommended her. (N.B.: When you click on her link you'll need to change the (at) to @ in her email address)
• My friend, Neil Verplank is many things to many people! He designs and builds, furniture, guitars, and web sites, and teaches classes on information design. Neil is a world traveler. He's chronicled his trips to Africa, Mexico, Europe, and most recently to Venezuela to see the total eclipse. Neil lives in Chicago.

A ten-year veteran, he's done work for a variety of high- profile clients. You can reach him at (201) 432-3060.
• For the aches and pains that come with lifting things for a living, I go to Dr. Richard M. Bachrach, D.O. in New York City. Richard has extensive experience with sports- and dance-related injuries. He’s worked for many of the premiere dance companies in town. He has been exceptionally helpful to me in treating foot, ankle, knee, shoulder and wrist injuries over the past fifteen years. Though I've never used him for back pain, my GP tells me tell me he is exceptionally talented in that area.
• One percent of the world's population stutters. I'm one of them. Ever wonder what causes stuttering? For treatment go to stuttering.com
• Yosemite veteran climber, Tom Frost, has a new website: FrostWorksClimbing.com.
• CiloGear makes the best packpacks for alpine and thru hiking currently available. A poor website, but get gear. See my review of his 60L pack at this link.
