Phil Visser's Shop Visit

Thanks to Phil Visser for hosting the September 11, 2008 Shop Visit.  Phil has a large shop with great natural lighting.  He has large windows with a beautiful view overlooking Lake Coronado.  Phil has a wonderful selection of shop tools (pictured below). Phil gave a tutorial on making box finger joints.  He also demonstrated a hollowing jig he built for his lathe. Coffee and cookies were provided.
