For this episode I interview Rea Gibson, a new resident over at the Village of Riverside Glen. Rea grew up on a farm in Erin township during the depression, later moving to Guelph as a teenager when his dad became an Auctioneer. After high school he took furniture design at what was known as Ryerson Institute of Technology, which lead to a life of woodworking. His woodworking ventures spanned furniture building (including running his own business), teaching (including building cabins and homes with his students) and wood-shows where he sold his creations and plans. There was always a new and magical place to take his interests, and it was inspiring to hear his story. Thanks Rea for giving us a glimpse into your woodworking journey!
