Ethan-Woodworker-Video-Player

Forgive me for such a personal post, but I want to introduce you to the world’s newest traditional woodworker: Baby Ethan Farnsworth! (sorry about the cheesy video above, but it was fun to make). My beautiful wife Laura was a champ bringing such a big 10 pound baby boy into this world.

Baby Ethan gave us a scare when he came out not breathing, but an amazing hospital staff resuscitated him and nursed him back to health over the next week.

I know, I know, he looks more like an astronaut, but trust me…he will become a woodworker!

Here are a few more special photos of this huge baby who is destined to build beautiful furniture with handplanes and handsaws:

If you send your congratulations below (in a comment) I’ll make sure I send it to Baby Ethan!

Congratulations! I loved the video and definitely have to try his planing technique ;)
Being the first time father of a 2 month old baby girl, I understand your happiness and desire to share it with the rest of the world. Thankfully my wife and I didn’t have to go through a scary situation like yours, I can only imagine how difficult it must have been. So all the best for the future for your family!
Greetings from Germany,
Hanno
