toddclippinger Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I love talking to other woodworkers and hearing how their journey in the craft started. I recently met Madison Swords, and I just loved his story of how he got started in woodworking, so I had to share it with you. Madison is a self-taught woodworker and he learned everything from YouTube. I was not only impressed with that, but the fact that he choose to go the hand tool route, and his for his first furniture project, he choose to tackle a Greene & Greene side table. I was absolutely blown away! In talking to Madison, it is clear he really gets it. He snaps up the knowledge and puts it to work straight-away in his own shop. He exhibits a wisdom and perspective beyond his years. I think his journey into woodworking is impressive, entertaining, and inspirational. And so I bring to you an interview with Madison Swords. I hope you enjoy! Your friend in the shop- Todd A. Clippinger Share the Love - Share the Knowledge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I wish I had my head screwed on like that when I was his age. We need more kids like him in the world. Todd - I went ahead and deleted the redundant thread. Thanks for the video... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddclippinger Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Eric - Thanks for deleting that thread. I had some trouble coming out of "Preview" mode and ended up with the double post. And thanks for checking out the video. Madison is a pretty good kid, it is energizing to talk to him and see what he has done and is currently exploring in the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
