Man in wheel chair in shop

Soldier jumps into woodworking with both feet

A tragic helicopter crash left U.S. Army Flight Engineer Chuck Isaacson paralyzed from the chest down in 2007. Despite multiple surgeries and a grueling rehab, Chuck barely slowed down as he settled into life, and woodworking, in a wheelchair.

Chuck: Thank you for sharing your shop. Your sacrifice to our country is beyond the scope of your wonderful shop. I was interested in your table saw. I had to build a custom base for my contractor's saw. I see you have a cabinet saw. How did you deal with the height? It's obviously shorter than a typical cabinet saw. Happy woodworking!

Chuck, love your shop and what you are doing. I too am in a wheel chair and have had to modify my shop and some of my power tools to get them where I could do my work and stay out of danger. Good luck with your wood working and thank you for your military service and keeping this country and my family safe. Larry Crouch
