I hope you're doing well and thanks for the support.<br /><br />Tom,<br /><br />I plan to write another build thread on the table, pending approval from the client. He's paid a deposit on the drawing, so things look to be going ahead.<br /><br />Gregore', Thanks. I fear your conclusions about the disappearing middle class are all too true. Congratulations on your recent successes in your jewelry path!<br /><br />~ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-68146749860074602222010-10-29T21:55:39.544-04:002010-10-29T21:55:39.544-04:00good going chris... i knew that it would all come ...good going chris... i knew that it would all come together for you eventually. in my opinion doing high end work is the only way to go ,as the middle class are long gone . i have been doing high end work for the wealthy for a while(boring stuff) , and last year i decided to take it up a few notches and make things that would probably never sell. but ... they did and do , surprising how that works. and i had the fun of doing what i wanted with no compromises , plus i won a bunch of awards along the way this year. so good for you and this tower will be a huge feather in your cap. one that some guy out there on some blog will show pictures of a hundred years from now.gregore' morinhttp://www.gregorejoailliers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-57283860214583054282010-10-28T11:38:14.239-04:002010-10-28T11:38:14.239-04:00Great news, Chris!

N...Dale,<br /><br />your support is always much appreciated.<br /><br />Nick,<br /><br />yah,I used to hear that too: "if you build it they will come". <br /><br />Now I wonder if it might be more appropriate to say "if you build it, and they don't know about it, you'll have it all to yourself"<br /><br />Damien,<br /><br />"breadcrumbs"? I hope I can do better than that - think delicious chocolates raining down upon you. You might consider having discussions with the folks who say I'm too long-winded, hah!<br /><br />Morton,<br />yes I do remember your face from out of my peripheral vision that day. Sorry I didn't get a chance to speak with you,but give me a shout if you want to get together at some point.<br /><br />Matt,<br /><br />about the Milwaukee show - drop Dale Osowski (uppermost commenter) a line and ask him about it as he has attended the past two shows there (hope you don't mind Dale!).<br /><br />~ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-77937641653685524412010-10-27T16:03:46.155-04:002010-10-27T16:03:46.155-04:00Hi Chris -

Congrats on the commission...it's encouraging given the dismal economic conditions. <br />Matt P.Matt Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01004936338345844062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-88868399366643406742010-10-27T09:16:43.283-04:002010-10-27T09:16:43.283-04:00Chris - I had the pleasure of meeting your wife at...Chris - I had the pleasure of meeting your wife at the show, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to say hello to you! She entertained my two small kids with the secret mitered / pinned joint. I overheard you talking about joinery to a potential client and loved the descriptions you used, obviously you have great passion for your work. <br /><br />I'm starting up my furniture business as well and would love to meet up and chat more when time allows as we live not too far apart. Super glad to hear about the commission - Congrats!! That is awesome. I look forward to hearing more about the table on the blog.Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167317950868566497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-90891718657118442942010-10-27T02:30:43.030-04:002010-10-27T02:30:43.030-04:00Great news, I am happy for you (and me) to hear ab...Great news, I am happy for you (and me) to hear about a new project. Now that you have our attention about new joinery horizons, I hope that we will get some breadcrumbs about this Ming table through your blog.Damienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00909477295500393609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-85539334899978497182010-10-26T23:21:46.919-04:002010-10-26T23:21:46.919-04:00hear you on the uncertainty of this craft, whether...hear you on the uncertainty of this craft, whether youre flipping house or building fine furniture...well maybe the flipping houses part isnt the same but the point is there.<br /><br />we never know what'll happen tomorrow. i know i doubted my future doing this stuff and i havent even been doing it for that long. but i know if im able to keep doing this, then i will, cause i love every second of it. and i know you do as well because your work is just outstanding. i wouldnt even dare to cut the joints you cut, or simply the sketch-up work i see you do...my god!<br /><br />build it and they will come...or so ive been toldNick Brygidyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106095548772647316noreply@blogger.com
