NCWW Member Gregory Paolini in Oct FWW Magazine!!!

[scsmith42]

It's always a good day when a new woodworking magazine arrives at the farm, but it's an even better day when one of our own North Carolina Woodworker members has an article in a respected magazine.

We have several members who have contributed to, or otherwise appeared in magazines, and they are now joined by Gregory Paolini.

Today I received the October 2010 issue of Fine Woodworking, and on page 34 I became engrossed in an article about heavy duty plunge routers. As I started reading the article I thought "wow - this guy really wrote a great article", so I turned back the page to see who it was. Lo and behold, I KNOW this guy - it's our very own Gregory Paolini!

GP - congrats on your article, and might I add that it is very well written too! It is very informative and a great read too!

I have read several articles that Greg has written, always a pleasure to read. :wsmile:

Greg is a super guy and has written many articles for FWW, has featured videos on their website and builds beautiful furniture in the Arts & Crafts tradition (he has several pieces at the Grovewood Gallery in Asheville). I've been to his shop several times and he is a very personable guy -- he has spoken to our Western NC Woodworkers Association twice and is scheduled to return in September. I read his article in this latest issue of FWW tonight and I may just follow his advice on getting a good plunge router (I have four fixed base routers and a Trend T3 Plunge router; the plunge base I have for my Porter Cable 690's is poorly designed and doesn't count for much). Now I'll need to decide on the $800+ Festool or the $225 Hitachi... Hmmmmm, choices, choices...

Thanks for the kind words, and for all of your support!

I'm glad the article is finally out - for quite a while, I've had all these plunge routers floating around the shop, and students would see them, and ask about them. All I could say was I was testing them for FWW, but couldn't say any more. Now I can actually talk about it, so the gag order's been lifted

Thanks again!

Congrats on the article Gregory. If those many routers are cluttering up your shop too badly, send me a PM and I will forward my shipping address so you will not feel claustrophobic while in the shop.:rotflm:

A very informative and excellently written review, Gregory!

A great lineup of routers too. (Albeit, no Milwaukee workhorse though, probably due to the plunge base focus.)

I for one really look forward to your writings on FWW!:icon_thum:icon_thum:eusa_clap:eusa_clap
