George Dart aka "The Col" is a regular contributor to Wood Central.

Eileen and I had the pleasure of stopping by his home and shop on the way through Philadelphia and onto Baltimore.

I was fortunate to get to see several pieces George has made for his home where he and Kathy have raise "Only" ten children.

Quotes are from George not me-and uh not Kathy :^)

These beautiful pieces are all in the Col's dining room.

I think my favorite is the Dining Table he made from an old Military Case.

After a hearty lunch of Soda and Philadelphia Hoagies we descended to the Shop.

George has a well equipped and well organized Shop. Two rooms allow George to execute pretty much any type of woodworking operation he desires.

This is the Power tool room  aka the "Norm Room"

George has all his major power tolls mounted on lockable casters which allows maximum flexibility of operation.

He also set aside an extended period of shop time construct individual wooden boxes for small power tools.

Here is the Router Table George built with more wooden boxes to store bits and accessories

There was one tool George has with which  I was quite unfamiliar.

After scouting out the Power tool Room he had me take of my shoes and bow as we entered:

THE NEADERTHAL SHRINE

Here is where George has all his hand tools and associated accessories. As I witnessed in the "Norm Room" -organization is clear, clean and an apparent joy to behold.

It was a great couple of hours that went all too fast.

It was time to hit the road to Baltimore
