I have Megan Fitzpatrick to thank for my not having dropped woodworking almost as soon as I took it up. I was intimidated and faced some blowback as a woman who wanted to learn. Then I picked up a copy of the magazine, read her descriptions of her own learning experience and what she was building, and felt much encouraged. I suspect I’m one woman among many who are grateful to Megan Fitzpatrick, and I wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
Another excellent episode. The interview with Megan was outstanding. I really liked the feather board idea. I need to make at least one for my table saw and perhaps another for my router table. Thanks Charles. Keep these episodes coming.
Another great show. Great interview I sat in at one of Megan's seminars at WIA and it was very interesting. I also bought a Leigh D4R years and I have continued to update it with the parts Leigh produces to keep the jig up to date. I bought the VRSD24 Vacuum & Router Support for my D4R and it works very well.
Hard to judge by the term master woodworker but she's definitely a woodworking lover and she makes nice stuff. Also if you had been listening to her you'd hear her saying "I'm not that good, I know many other female woodworkers much better than me." Charles is just being nice and a gentleman with her. Nice words never made any harm. Cheers
@@AndreaArzensek I've known Charles for about 6 years or so and he is, without a doubt, a nice man and a gentlemen. It was Megan's own statements that made me wonder why Chuck kept referring to her as a master. Words do have meaning though. In this day and age "well known" seems as important (or more) than "highly accomplished". I know a few woodworkers who after going through a significant apprenticeship (lasting years) and producing a broad catalog of museum quality furniture, don't have this title. Since I am not aware of any specific way one can be awarded this title it can be ascribed to anyone who, to use your words, loves woodworking and makes nice stuff. I suppose for most this is much ado about nothing. For me however, words matter. I've met Megan a few times at various woodworking functions and she's an awesome person (for as much as I can tell in those short encounters). To love something is one thing, to be a master of it is something quite different.
@@ChetKloss That's a nice conclusion Chet. I thought you were attacking Charles. I agree with you, a word "master" should be seldomly used in any giving field of profession. Or maybe she's Shakespeare master :) Cheers
There is more to being a master woodworker than working wood. She is the editor of most of the best selling Lost Art Press Books and many years at Pop Wood guiding the development of woodworkers. She is the filter that knows and decides what woodworking info woodworkers need. She has done a great job at being that and in the process has become a very good woodworker. It is a big umbrella and she is a master in her field. She has been a huge influence to so many!

Gotta love the Fitz.

I love that woman!
This is great. I really like that shaker cabinet.
Best episode ever!! Who'd a thought there are others who enjoy Shakespeare and sawdust!!

Fantastic program. Keep up the good work.
I had the pleasure of meeting Megan at one of Chris’ classes (Anarchist’s Tool Chest) at Roy Underhill’s school a few years ago. Classy lady.
Megan is such an amazing person. Her story and her skill is inspiring.
I hope this show continues for a longtime 🙂
Snug-fitz.👍👍😀
Didn't know about Megan. Thanks for this, she is awesome!
Chuck, can you help me understand why you consider Megan a Master woodworker?

@@charlesbrock5806 A master editor, wordsmith, and, as you say, a very good woodworker, I completely agree.
So glad you are making these again! I look forward to each new video!
This was way to short, Thx for the Fitz MwaM, I love her.
