We've been introducing you to "Today's Woodworkers" in this section of the eZine for the past 10 years. It's a department that features, well, people who are doing woodworking today. Or, since we now have over a decade's worth of these articles built up, people who were doing woodworking in what was then today but is now yesterday. Among those woodworkers we've featured are several writers for Woodworker's Journal, the print magazine. (Back in 1998, the publishers of Today's Woodworker print magazine bought Woodworker's Journal. Publication continued under the name Woodworker's Journal.) Some of them might be names that are still familiar to you. Remember when we introduced you to these 10 woodworkers ....
