Do you have an hour? If so, click below to read the transcript of a taped interview of James Krenov that was conducted by Oscar Fitzgerald for the Nanette L. Laitman Documentation Project For Craft and Decorative Arts in America.
In this wide-ranging interview, Krenov gives his unvarnished opinion on contemporary woodworking, tools and other famous woodworkers. Prepare to have your feathers ruffled.

Here are some supplies and tools we find essential in our everyday work around the shop. We may receive a commission from sales referred by our links; however, we have carefully selected these products for their usefulness and quality.
The Krenov Interview url seems to be a dead one.
very much unvarnished, especially as relates to "art" and interior design. I don’t know, however, if I believe that he uses the pricing method that he says he does.
All in all, a very enjoyable interview after a full dya in the shop.
