• The Secret Book (finewoodworking.com) — A Clinton woodworker, Tom DeAngelis, shares how a secret wooden “book” made by his immigrant grandfather inspired him to recreate the piece using traditional tools and refined joinery. Working today in his Clinton, Conn. shop, he blends family history with meticulous craftsmanship to build a new version that hides a small compartment. His story highlights how hands-on skills can connect generations and spark creativity close to home.
