Playing the Saw -
Last week, Tom was invited to visit Harvard University to speak to a group of woodworking hobbyists at Eliot House. A man of unexpected talents, Tom surprises undergrads Raafi Alidina and Oliver Strand with a rendition of the Harvard Fight Song "Veritas," played on a crosscut hand saw!
A visit with the North Bennett Street School -
Earlier that day, Tom lectured at the North Bennett Street School (NBSS) in Boston. Tom addressed the students of cabinet and furniture making on the basic principles of starting a successful business. Well aware of the challenges presented in the current economy, the group was especially interested in the company's ability to survive, and to thrive, during the recent recession.
