I find it difficult to comprehend that anyone can do woodworking outdoors. I’m certain that it has something to do with the fact that I live in one of the wettest environments on earth here in Norway. And if it isn’t raining, the wind is blowing Usually both are going on at the same time.

It has always been my attitude that the woodworker is by far the most important element and that benches and tools just make the job easier but not necessarily better. Your bench works for you and you can work with it outdoors. What is better than that?
