We’ve dug through the archives to bring you another Masters of the Craft that will leave you feeling inspired. John Reed Fox’s work is always amazing, but the how and the why is just as important for Fox. Jon Binzen produced this slideshow years ago, but I have a feeling that you’ll find it important both today and twenty years from now.

This Craftsman Is ....TRULY A man after my own heart! His work speaks for its self. He is also a Artist .... I am a 73 year old man who has done some part of wood working all my life.....and furniture building for the last 15 years of my life and I have always loved the Japanese way of building and the way they look at the world ....as Artists /Craftsmen.... with simplistic lines and gentle form. Now at my age I would Love to still be working towards a goal of simplicity in form.... but my lungs gave out a couple of year ago to only 40 % capacity... But it gives my a certain amount of joy to see what you John Reed Fox have accomplished ....a very well done to you!! I look forward to seeing any and all of your works!!

I couldn't believe my luck when I realised this was all about Japanese style woodcraft. The design and woodwork is of the highest class and I truly appreciate the fact that much, if not all of it was done by traditional woodcraft methods, using traditional tools.
If you have the time, I would love to see a video of the intricate screens being created from go-to-whoa - better still, accompanied by an article written in Fine Wood Working.
As a visitor to Japan, I find it very difficult to locate suppliers of these traditional tools. Do you know anyone in Hokkaido who specialises in the sale of these tools - new or second hand?
