I know everyone thinks all I do is drink coffee and read woodworking magazines and go to my shop to drink coffee and do woodworking.
I want everyone to know that I do have other interests! I bought a new book recently. A Novel! A work of fiction! And I am enjoying reading it too! Sitting back and reading is what I enjoy too. I love books and always have loved them!
What's the book you ask?
Well this is where I fear most of you will laugh now lol
It’s a screwball comedy set in 1937 about a woodworker who heads the U.S. government’s agricultural “Broadcast Research” division.
Along with his staff of four women (all severely injured WWI volunteers), Calvin studies “broadcast seed, nutrient and amendment distribution technology and practice” – that is, what happens when the poop actually hits the fan.
But the four women are more interested in developing the world’s first supercomputer (using abandoned punch-card machines), and Calvin is more interested in woodworking…and in one particular woman: Kathryn Dale Harper, host of the radio program “Homemaker Chats.”
How best to woo her? Why, a radio show: “Grandpa Sam’s Woodshop of the Air!”
It’s an almost-overnight sensation (for measured drawings, write to “Grandpa Sam’s” and be sure to include a 3-cent stamp to cover the cost of duplication). But – as Calvin discovers – success breeds jealousy… a dangerous thing when one’s enemy has friends in high places.
Can Calvin and his friends save the world through woodworking, one listener at a time? Perhaps – but first, they’ll have to save themselves from Nazis, the clutches of the FBI, bureaucracy and wooden legs that break at inopportune times.
