[Woodworkers] Today would have been Joes birthday

[Steve Bigelow]

Happy Birthday, Joe!

I know Joe's got his shop full of old arn, wherever he is now.

I learned a lot from Joe over the years, and he was always a good listener
when I called, and always gave good advice.

Most of you didn't know, but I arranged for Joe to make 13 or so wooden
cabinets for work (at a very generous price point). This was just a few
short months before he passed, and he did a fine job on them, as expected.
Once the project was over, I ended up with a couple of them. They are
sitting in my living room now, but I'm still uncertain what to do with
them. They are very unique cabinets, with no openings on the sides or top,
designed to hold electronics. One of these days I'll figure out what to do
with them.

Regards,
-Steve
