No words. There are none in my vocabulary that can do justice to the talent we’ve lost. Just admiration.

I don't think I ever saw a woodworking project as challenging as this shell box. I will try to find the full documentary.
Thanks and RIP Mr. Whateley.

Thankyou Jeremy, very fitting and very Andy! He was a big part of my life, dreams and plans. Andy is never forgotten by so many who admired and were inspired by him. The Complete Craftsman and a fun guy. I hope he has found Peace , Becca xxx

I am just sorting through some of the rushes of my 1989 documentary on Andrew. It has the makings of a fascinating full length documentary. I included a clip of Andrew in my series 'Furniture Today' titling it 'Unsung hero'.

A great talent but, it seems, not a contented one. His worries are over and he can rest for eternity knowing that he leaves a legacy of craftsmanship rarely equalled.
