Jerry Metz

[Paul K. Murphy]

I just put up a response to a woodworking question in this forum, and it got me thinking.
"I'll bet most forum members don't know who Jerry Metz is", I said to myself.
Jerry Metz was the "Dear Abby" of the trade magazine, "Wood and Wood Products."
I always read his column. He was a touchstone for woodworkers everywhere.
Do a google search using the term, "Jerry Metz wood and wood products" to see for yourself. I think many may benefit from the things they will read.
