Dilo Marcio Fernandino's Workshop

Dilo, you have an absolutely wonderful set of hand tools. I have a great deal of admiration and respect for anyone who adheres to a traditional approach to woodworking. I agree that it is not a highly productive process but producing furniture in a time honored fashion such as this is a skill that is to cherished.

You have a wonderful shop and I thank you for posting the pictures of it. I enjoyed visiting with you. I am looking forward to seeing your works posted here.

Your workshop is a reflection to you dedication to your own niche in woodworking. your have acquired a superb set of tools and appears that you have all of the space that you require. I wish that could have my shop as neatly organised as yours is

One of the neatest shops on this whole site! Welcome to Lumberjocks. Thanks for sharing and great photos.

-- Happy woodworking!

Your shop and history have given me a new look on the speed in which I create projects. I am very glad there are people like you here, to show people like me that quality vs. quantity is still a producible art form with woodworking.

I’m really looking forward to your other projects!

Thats a nice little space.

I’m never going to complain about my one car garage again.
You are truly an inspiration

Welcome and your tools are beautiful. Nice to see ol world craftsmanship in this day of high tech tools. Beautiful chair also.

If I could be any kind of woodworker I wanted to be, I would wish to be one like you. I love the simplicity of your workshop and the fine hand tools you have made and acquired. I greatly admire your whole approach of crafting very artistic pieces of an extremely high quality. As I have said before, one piece of the kind you craft is worth a thousand lesser quality ones. I know you have earned the admiration and respect of every LJ member who has seen your creations. Thank you for sharing this wonderful work with us.

My shop is 27.4 times as large as yours and I have never come close in craftsmanship to what you have accomplished. In Japan you would be considered a national treasure, which you are sure to become, if not so recognized.

What a neat shop. Some great work emanates from there.
