wouldwurker Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Was talking to a client today who mentioned that her husband went to Ian Kirby's woodworking school in Atlanta metro back in the 80's. Evidently a hand tool guy. I haven't heard his name before - did any of you guys know him/know of him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwacker Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 He is pretty well known by most of the old timers. I met him at a show years ago but thats about it, don't know if he teaches anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottacat Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 He also wrote a book - The Accurate Table Saw: Simple Jigs and Safe Setups in 1998. I found it quite handy when I first started woodworking in the early 2000's and could only afford a contractors table saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick S Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 He has been popular as a guest lecturer for many years and is well known for a simple, but very good workbench design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabinfever Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I still remember the Heirloom bookcase project he did for Woodworkers Journal magazine... wonder if anyone actually built that other than him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
