Marc Adams has been a professional woodworker for almost three decades, during which he's won numerous awards, worked with the U.S. government on woodworking-related issues, and been featured in several books and many magazines. Fourteen years ago, Marc was the sole instructor when he opened the Marc Adams School of Woodworking in Franklin, Ind., to 160 students. Now, every year more than 2,500 students choose from almost 100 classes, all taught by world-renowned instructors. Needless to say, with so many people using the facility Marc is concerned with safety and accuracy. He shares his rules and procedures for achieving both in a new seven-part series.

Darrell Peart began his woodworking career making small wooden items to sell at Seattle's Pike Place Market, and worked for many years in various high-end custom shops throughout the Puget Sound, Wash., region. In 1989, he discovered the American Arts & Crafts movement and was captivated by the work of Charles and Henry Greene. His first book, "Greene and Greene: Design Elements for the Workshop" (Linden), was published in 2006.

Chris Hedges A former college sociology instructor, Chris decided to leave academia and recently completed a two-year furniture-making program at the University of Rio Grande in south central Ohio. The fourth woodworking project he's ever built, a near-flawless Philadelphia-style secretary, won the "Best of Show" award in the Fresh Wood competition at the 2007 Association of Woodworking & Furnishings Suppliers show (AWFS). He now plans to build furniture full time.

Rob Porcaro has been a woodworker for more than 25 years. You can see his work online at rpwoodwork.com. Rob is a doctor of optometry by day and a master's track competitive sprinter. He lives in Medfield, Mass., with his wife, Julie; son, Mark; and daughter, Stefanie. In this issue, he writes about workbench upgrades on page 57.

Troy Sexton A long-time professional cabinetmaker, Troy is in the middle of rearranging his shop in Sunbury, Ohio. He says he's going to get rid of one of his five (five!) table saws and replace that with a panel-saw system. But before he does that, Troy has more pressing business: A trip to Canada to fish for pike and walleye.
