Making Things Work by Nancy Hiller is a great read for any woodworker regardless of your experience. This book is not a “how to” book nor is it filled with projects and shop drawings. Making Things Work tells an often hilarious and candid story of a woodworkers life from early training to running a business and everything in between. All of her wonderfully told stories not only hold precious lessons about our craft but also reveals many of the pitfalls a professional maker faces. Anyone who may be considering making woodworking a full time job should definitely read this book. It is a short, easy read (138 pages) and is difficult to put down.

Folks, I am on a quest to find any images of the man, Thomas Chippendale. There is a caveat, they must be open source, without copyright or at least released into the public domain by the originator. So that means we'd have more luck with images from public museums, library archives, .gov sites etc. I am creating a "seed" wiki page about him at http://thepatriotwoodwiki.org/Thomas+Chippendale and I need to start by filling in the area where his image should be. This is the only image I have found of the man, in his younger years, did he not want to be painted in his older years? http://antique-marks.com/thomas-chippendale.html Does anyone here know of a location I could procure any additional images of him, I could use the above image, it appears to be in the public domain but I'll have to contact the website first, it seems to be pretty popularly used. But I am also looking for an image with larger dimensions, this one appears to be only available at 200 x 280 px. I did a Google search using "Thomas Chippendale Portrait" among other search terms and came up still with only this one. There will be a thousand other images that pop up with those search terms, but they are not of "Thomas Chippendale" they are of other craftsmen of the time. So, if you'd like to put your research hat on and help me find some additional images, any help is greatly appreciated!
