Gene Howe Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 A good number of Mr. Nakashima's work is in private hands. Only a very select few own a Patriot Wood Worker original. It's all relative.

With that said, I would gladly proclaim my pride in owning a Patriot Wood Worker original. Wait! I already do, it was a gift, and it is sitting on the desk in front of me and I write with it on an almost daily basis and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

PostalTom Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 I'm confused. What are the TPW gifts everyone is talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great place with great people. I read it everyday, I post to it almost everyday, and I get a laugh at least once a day, but usually more. To me, TPW is a gift.
