[Nfb-krafters-korner] question about sewing and woodworking

[eileen scrivani]

Greg:

I passed your message along to my husband who is a blind woodworker.  His 
name is Louis and he will probably email you.  Hope you get the information 
you're looking for.

As for myself, I know nothing at all about wood working ... it scares me!
