Woodworking with: With a new year comes a new beginning.

Who is Gord Graff ??

Hello All,

I’m Gord Graff and I live in Newmarket On. with my lovely wife Marianne and our son Matthew. Our two daughters Lisa and Jessica were recently married (summer of 2007) and things around here are just now starting to settle down.

I’ve been a woodworker for over 30 years now and looking back I’ve been a very fortunate individual. I’ve had the pleasure of teaching woodworking design and construction at night school. I’ve had articles/projects published by Fine Woodworking Magazine, Canadian Home Workshop Magazine and Canadian Woodworking Magazine. I’ve stood in front of litterly hundreds and hundreds of woodworkers and presented seminars on many different aspects of woodworking. I’ve sold pieces of furniture of varying styles, from painted pine to high end exotics to several stores and many individuals in and around the greater Toronto area. All in all I’ve had a great woodworking career thus far but things are about to change.

All the best
Gord

With a new year comes a new beginning.

Hi All,
Well, 2008 is finally gone and a new year has arrived.

To say that 2008 was the lowest point of my life is an understatement but with a new year comes a new beginning and hope for the future.

A few new things have happened since I last posted a few words here, I'm sporting a new look.
Yes, that's me and I'm 80lbs lighter. I went to Disney World last fall with my lovely wife Marianne and our son Matthew......................that was a real blast.

Woodworking for me has always been a lifesaver, crutch and a real source of strength and as following updates will show, you'll seen just what I mean.
Yes, there are new and exciting things happening just around the corner and I've finally hooked into something that I can really get my teeth into, so to speak..................more on that exciting news later.

For now, here are a few pictures.................

All the best
Gord
