Remembering a Great Woodworking Teacher Tage Frid   "The single greatest influence on American woodworking education today" May 30, 2012   On this date in 1915, Tage Frid was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. Schooled for 5 years as an apprentice, he went on to become an accomplished designer, woodworker and author, and one of the world's greatest woodworking teachers. His contribution to woodworking in America over 47 years of teaching is incalculable. His own students are everywhere, in studios and teaching in universities; his books have sold a quarter of a million copies. In his definitive book Contemporary American Woodworkers, Michael A. Stone wrote that "Without a doubt, Frid represents the single greatest influence on American woodworking education today." As we honor him today on what would have been his 97th birthday, we invite you to join us in reading Jack Warner's recap of a 1991 personal visit with Tage Frid.
