Featured Editorial - Simon Watts
|
"From a very early age, I had an interest in how things worked and in making things with my hands," explained Simon Watts.
That interest could have taken him in many directions, but fortunately for woodworkers, it led to Simon's lifelong involvement in woodworking. Over the years, he's emerged as a leading authority on the subject, both as a builder and teacher of furniture making and boatbuilding and as an author and editor of numerous articles and books on the vast subject.
