Ok folks, it's been awhile but here goes!

He was the son of a silversmith. At the age of 13, he started a five year apprenticeship in Copenhagen followed by work in cabinet shops. He worked for nearly a decade at the Royal Danish Cabinetmakers^. He spent time in Iceland before immigrating to the United States in 1948 at the request of the American Crafts Council. He was an editor at Fine Woodworking Magazine from it's inception in 1975 until his death, and he was a great teacher of woodworking, a writer, and I own one of his books that he wrote about mastering joinery on the table saw.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Craft_Council' title="American Craft Council">

I think you and I got the same email Greg! Tage is one of the most forgotten men in woodworking, yet he was a master amongst the best.

Until I got the email I had never heard of him, but then again my type of woodworking is a tad different than the norm
