We often take for granted the “bullet proof” machines such as the Newman Planer from one of the great American companies of the early 1900’s. These machines run tirelessly, day after day and represent the lifeblood of a wood manufacturing and molding plant. The following is [...]

Good Millwork: Lego + Frank Lloyd Wright = Falling Water, originally uploaded by Good Millwork.
As the flawed human beings we all are, from time to time, each of us needs a break from swine flu fears and waterboarding debates. As a 35-year-old man-child, my distraction of choice is video games. For others, it’s Lego.
