The Wood Whisperer- On Newsstands Now!!

February 6, 2007 | Filed Under Blog 

I recently wrote a how-to article about making custom poker chip trays and submitted it to Woodcraft Magazine. I received word that it would be published in the March 2007 issue, which was very exciting news. Imagine my excitement when I found out that my trays actually made the cover of the magazine!! I was doing the happy dance that day.
For those of you who are not familiar, Woodcraft Magazine is quite a unique publication. Their content usually comes from, or is inspired by, woodworkers like you and I. They produce six issues per year that are packed with helpful projects and tips, as well as woodworker profiles. In fact, I really enjoyed reading this month’s article on Marc Adams. I love reading stories about how successful woodworkers got to where they are today.

Well, I spoke with Woodcraft Magazine this morning and we decided that in the name of Wood Whisperer fan appreciation, we would make the poker chip article available right here as a downloadable PDF document:

    Wow. Congratulations, Marc! I remember the first time I was published (not in the field of woodworking) and the amazing feeling I got. It’s a big deal. You really have hit the big times lately. You’re a real celebrity. Try to stay humble! Keep up the great job you’re doing.

    (BTW… I have a daughter who is crazy about poker. I think I see a Christmas present in this article.)

    Oh my goodness, I’m married to a celebrity!!!! When the heck did that happen? Woohoo! :)

    Congratulations Marc. Great article and an innovative idea that is well executed.

    Perhaps I have been living in a hole but I didn’t realize you trained as a molecular biologist. As another medical scientist type guy who enjoys woodworking, I’d love to see a piece on how you made the decision to switch careers and how that process went. Must have been a big decision and one fraught with some degree of risk… Give us all some inspiration!

    Best wishes.

    p.s. Nicole…what with all your video facetime of late…Marc’s not the only celebrity in the family. My wife couldn’t stop laughing at your Lumer Saleswoman routine.

    Mark- I have to admit that I was going to try to do this project once I saw it in your gallery. Now I don’t have to “wing it”, or try to figure it out on my own. Thanks!

    Congratulations Mark on your publishing to Fww. Your presentation of Woodworking techniques is truly an asset to the Woodworking Field and I’m glad you have reach the status you deserve. Your hard work is well thought out and a tremendous help for those already in the craft or to those new to the field.
    Thanks Again,

    any chance of getting some autographed copies to show up in the Wood Whisperer store??

    with the latest post on your future plans, I need to get mine NOW!

    Would it be possible to get a picture of the bottom of the tray? I’m kind of confused at the section “Milling the Grooves”. For some reason I cannot wrap my head around exactly what is going on there to allow them to stack and the drawing on page 16 (4th page of the PDF..I have the magazine) doesn’t show a recess on the bottom. The only grooves that I see are on the top.

    I’m pretty sure it’s an easy concept that I am just not getting at 1am.

    I so much want to make these things since I have quite a few poker fiends, er friends that would go nuts over them.

    Marc,

    I just picked up the magazine this weekend and read your article. Congratulations on the publication and for your continued success! I will be attempting your plans and design in the near future and I’m sure to be successful due to your well written instructions.

    Take care

    Branden
