On October 27, 2001 Sam Maloof visited the College of Architecture on an east coast lecture tour. In the morning he sat in on a critique of the furniture class's work. That afternoon he spent with myself and another student.

The photographs show my demonstration of the making of the conical hole. We talked extensively about the design of the tables and the choices of joinery. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet and interact with such and inspiring individual. His knowledge and technique are a great part of my personal development.
